Hi all, I need a little help with a macro. I basically need the below code to repeat exactly for the 9 treatment groups to create a dummy shell. I then the output from each treatment group to 'stack' as to create a large shell with 31 observations output from each treatment group. The away this is currently written, I am only getting output from group 'T" (the last entered group).
Help is appreciated!
%macro dummy (tx);
data dummy ;
do tx="&tx";
do ord=11 to 41;
if ord=11 then do;
do sord=1 to 2 ;
output;
end;
end;
if ord=21 then do;
do sord=1 to 8;
output;
end;
end;
if ord=31 then do;
do sord=1 to 12;
output;
end;
end;
if ord=41 then do;
do sord=1 to 9;
output;
end;
end;
end;
end;
run;
%mend dummy;
%dummy (A);
%dummy (B);
%dummy (C);
%dummy (D);
%dummy (E);
%dummy (F);
%dummy (G);
%dummy (H);
%dummy(T);
To get your program to work, get rid of the macro language. Take this statement:
do tx="&tx";
Change it to:
do tx = 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'T';
Then you can get rid of everything that is macro-related and be left with a DATA step.
As it stands now, each time you call the macro, you replace the data set DUMMY. That seems like the wrong thing to do.
