several statements in if and else part

[csetzkorn]

I did numerous google seraches but could not find an answer. What is the syntax, if I have several statements in the if and the then part of an if the statement? This is some pseudo code:

if /*	some condition */ then 
do;
	/*	statements */
end; else 
do
	/*	statements */
end;

The if part is fine but I am not sure about the then part.

You're missing a semicolon after the second DO statement. 

See the examples in the documentation 🙂

Google seems broken these days. Consider searching directly at either lexjansen.com, communities.sas.com or support.sas.com

Thanks I found the link you provided via google but it did not show what I was after (e.g. not using else if). gauthamk28 provided what I was after. Thanks anyway.

This one has a fourth example that is interesting, I wouldn't have expected that to work.

if x=0 then  
   if y ne 0 then put 'X ZERO, Y NONZERO'; 
   else put 'X ZERO, Y ZERO';
else put 'X NONZERO';

If expression then do;
Executable statements;
End;
Else do;
Executable statements;
End;
