I have a set of numbers that I need to collect the count for. Essentially, I need to perform :
proc sql;
create table lala&i as
select count(*)
from singlefamilyhht
where persons=4 and hinc<.8*(i)
or
persons=3 and hinc< .9*(.8*(i))
or
persons=2 and hinc< .8*(.8*(i))
or
persons=5 and hinc< 1.08*(.8*(i))
or
persons=6 and hinc< 1.16*(.8*(i))
group by puma1;
quit;
repeatedly for different medians (@i).
I wrote the following code:
%macro data;
%let median = {61000.00 68000.00 68400.00 88000.00 77400.00 84040.00 103000.00 65400.00 47800.00 75000.00 92000.00 80000.00 99000.00 64400.00 79300.00};
%do i = 61000 %to &median;
proc sql;
create table lala&i as
select count(*)
from singlefamilyhht
where persons=4 and hinc<.8*(i)
or
persons=3 and hinc< .9*(.8*(i))
or
persons=2 and hinc< .8*(.8*(i))
or
persons=5 and hinc< 1.08*(.8*(i))
or
persons=6 and hinc< 1.16*(.8*(i))
group by puma1;
quit;
%end;
%mend data;
My log is as follows:
Any recommendations?
I suspect you want something like this:
%macro loop;
%local i median medians;
%let medians = 61000.00 68000.00 68400.00 88000.00 77400.00 84040.00 103000.00 65400.00 47800.00 75000.00 92000.00 80000.00 99000.00 64400.00 79300.00;
%do i = 1 %to %sysfunc(countw(&medians,%str( )));
%let median=%scan(&medians,&i,%str( ));
create table LALA&i as
select count(*) as COUNT
,&median. as MEDIAN
,PUMA1
from SINGLEFAMILYHHT
where (PERSONS=2 and HINC < .80 .8 * &median)
or (PERSONS=3 and HINC < .90 * .8 * &median)
or (PERSONS=4 and HINC < 1.00 * .8 * &median)
or (PERSONS=5 and HINC < 1.08 * .8 * &median)
or (PERSONS=6 and HINC < 1.16 * .8 * &median)
group by PUMA1;
%end;
%mend ;
proc sql;
%loop;
quit;
