Do you know how to create macro variables?

[Aman4SAS]

yes, %let n call symput();

but not able to use logic how to use it here..

[Reeza]

Try doing it via proc sql:

http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/sas/library/nesug99/cc107.pdf

The trick is to get the summary values you need and then use those to create the macro variables.

You could do it multiple ways:

1) one sql step

OR

2) Use proc means to get the output with the total and count for each group and use that data set and call symput to create your macro variables.

[Aman4SAS]

count n total is nt a prob for me , i hav done that already.

DATA TEST1;

SET TEST END = FINAL;

IF STATUS = 'Y' THEN Y+1;

IF STATUS= 'N' THEN N+1;

TOT+1;

RUN;

PROC PRINT;

RUN;

main prob is using that in title n footnote.

[Reeza]

Create macro variables with call symput using your data then.

DATA TEST1;

SET TEST END = FINAL;

IF STATUS = 'Y' THEN Y+1;

IF STATUS= 'N' THEN N+1;

TOT+1;

if final then do;

     call symput('num_yes', y);

call symput('num_no', n);

end;

RUN;

title "num of yes: &num_yes. and number of no: &num_no.";

[Aman4SAS]

DATA TEST1;

SET TEST END = FINAL;

IF STATUS = 'Y' THEN Y+1;

IF STATUS= 'N' THEN N+1;

TOT+1;

if final then do;

     call symput('num_yes', y);

call symput('num_no', n);

call symput('Tot',tot);

end;

RUN;

proc print;   

title "&num_yes. student are paid and %sysfunc(left(&num_no.)) students are not paid out of: %sysfunc(left(&tot.)) students";

run;
