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:

73 %macro data;
74 %let median = {61000.00 68000.00 68400.00 88000.00 77400.00 84040.00 103000.00 65400.00 47800.00 75000.00 92000.00
74 ! 80000.00 99000.00 64400.00 79300.00};
75 %do i = 61000 %to &median;
76 proc sql;
77 create table lala&i as
78 select count(*)
79 from singlefamilyhht
80 where persons=4 and hinc<.8*(i)
81 or
82 persons=3 and hinc< .9*(.8*(i))
83 or
84 persons=2 and hinc< .8*(.8*(i))
85 or
86 persons=5 and hinc< 1.08*(.8*(i))
87 or
88 persons=6 and hinc< 1.16*(.8*(i))
89 group by puma1;
90
91 quit;
92 %end;
93 %mend data;
94
95 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;
108
 

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;
