Hi folks,
I am trying to do the following;
1- remove children <2 in variable 'arrivalage'
2- removing those who don't have either of these diagnosis codes ('251', 'J441', 'J45', 'J459', 'J46', 'J46X', 'R062', '7001', '7002', '7003', '7004') in any of the variables 'diag_01 to diag_06' or treatment codes ('25', '40') in any of the variables treat_01 to treat_09'.
Am I right in writing below code;
Data control1; set Sheffield; if aekey NE ' ' then visit=1; *with 2-16 year olds with wheese/asthma diagnosis, investigation and treatment codes in the rest of Yorkshire & Humber; if arrivalage <2 OR diag_01 - diag_06 NOT in ('251', 'J441', 'J45', 'J459', 'J46', 'J46X', 'R062', '7001', '7002', '7003', '7004') or treat_01 -treat_09 NOT in ('25', '40') then delete; if procodet = 'RAE' then group1=1; else group1=0; run;
diag_01 - diag_06 NOT in ('251', 'J441', 'J45', 'J459', 'J46', 'J46X', 'R062', '7001', '7002', '7003', '7004')
diag_01 - diag_06 NOT in
will not work, it is not valid SAS syntax
You want
diag_01 NOT in ('251', 'J441', 'J45', 'J459', 'J46', 'J46X', 'R062', '7001', '7002', '7003', '7004')
and diag_02 NOT in ('251', 'J441', 'J45', 'J459', 'J46', 'J46X', 'R062', '7001', '7002', '7003', '7004')
and ...
You can type (or copy/paste) the rest of the lines. You could also write an ARRAY to handle this without having to specifically code each of diag_01 through diag_06.
Thanks but should it not have 'OR' instead of 'AND'? in other words, I am trying to include all observations with any of these variables having any of these codes.
diag_01 NOT in ('251', 'J441', 'J45', 'J459', 'J46', 'J46X', 'R062', '7001', '7002', '7003', '7004') OR diag_02 NOT in ('251', 'J441', 'J45', 'J459', 'J46', 'J46X', 'R062', '7001', '7002', '7003', '7004') OR ...
If you want good usable code answer, please provide some usable sample data for us to work with 🙂

I guess I will leave that up to you, since you know what you want better than I know what you want.
Here is an example data set;
arrivalage diag_01 diag_02 diag_03 diag_04 diag_05 diag_06 treat_01 treat_02 treat_03 treat_04 treat_05 treat_06 procodet

Try a data set with only the variables referenced in your original question, make sure it executes properly as pasted (the above doesn't, everything after aekey is missing or blank, your diag_04 variable doesn't exist because the name is split across lines as is treat_0r, and make sure to include some of the code values you are concerned about.
I could get some of the data to read but I don't think the datalines are correct for the given code.
It would also be a good idea to indicate what the final result for your example data should be.
Not sure if I follow what you mean! Now when I re-run the code to produce sample data, I get following log; Looks like there is something wrong but I can't tell what?

Also not sure what you mean by final results? I want a data set that contains observations having any of the mentioned codes for any of the mentioned variables (from diag_01 to diag_06 and treat_01 to treat_09).
Thanks
No. The
diag_01 - diag_06 NOT in ('251', 'J441', 'J45'....
part is not correct. You probably want to use arrays in a situation like this and check each variable separately. In the code below, the - will be interpreted as a minus sign, and diag_01-diag_06 will result in a numeric missing value, which is not desirable.
1) Pay attention: if var1-varn in (...) - sas assumes that you are making a subtraction, and as those variables are CHAR type, it makes a syntax error.
2) @PaigeMiller used AND between conditions. You want - if no variable has any of those codes then delete. In other words, if any variable has any of those codes then write to output.
You can code either:
if diag_1 not in <list> and diag_2 not in <list> and ... then delete;
or use:
if diag_1 in <list> or diag_2 in <list > or ... then output;
3) You can either copy/paste the list between the lines or use a macro as in:
%let mylist = ('251', 'J441', 'J45', 'J459', 'J46', 'J46X', 'R062', '7001', '7002', '7003', '7004');
data want;
set have;
array diag daig_1 - diag_6;
flag = 0; /* initialized value assumes non code exist */
do i=1 to dim(diag);
if diag(i) in &mylist then flag=1;
end;
if flag = 1 then output; /* some diagnosis are found */
run;
