Hi SAS users,

 

I need help with writing this SQL correctly. I need to update/alter a table with status of 'SUCCESS/FAILURE'  based on the case condition .

 

UPDATE &SUM_TABLE A
SET
STAT = 'SUCCESS'      

             case WHEN ((B.INPUT_CNT - A.UNIQUE_CLAIM_ID)=0
                                     (SELECT COUNT(*) AS INPUT_CNT

                                                        FROM MANUAL_TEMP B)

                                       )
ELSE 'FAILURE'
END;

 

Thanks,

Ana

data have;
 length sex $ 20;
 sex='M';age=12;output;
 sex='F';age=1;output;
run;
proc sql;
update have as a
set sex=
 case 
 when (exists(select * from sashelp.class where age=a.age))
  then 'TRUE'
 else 'FALUSE' 
 end;
quit;

Proper syntax would be:

 

UPDATE &SUM_TABLE
SET
	STAT = case 
		when UNIQUE_CLAIM_ID = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM MANUAL_TEMP)
			then 'SUCCESS'
			else 'FAILURE'
			end;

but I doubt that this is what you really want to do. I doesn't look right to equate a claim ID with the record count in another table. Could you explain what the SUCCESS/FAILURE condition is supposed to be?
