ERROR: (execution) Invalid subscript or subscript out of range.

I am doing a permutation test and i have gone as far as getting difference of the means using proc ttest. My next step is proc iml and thats where am stuck.

i keep getting the following error message on the log:

106         ods output off;

107 ods exclude all;

108 *borrowed code from internet ... randomizes observations and creates a matrix ... one row per randomization ;

109 proc iml;

NOTE: IML Ready

110 use pocketcash;

110 ! * change data set name here to match your data set name above;

111 read all var{school cash} into x;

WARNING: Variable cash excluded because of type mismatch with x.

111 ! *change varibale names here ... make sure it is class then var ... in that order.;

112 p = t(ranperm(x[,2],1000));

ERROR: (execution) Invalid subscript or subscript out of range.

operation : [ at line 112 column 17

operands : x, , *LIT1002

x 30 rows 1 col (character, size 😎

*LIT1002 1 row 1 col (numeric)

What am i doing wrong?

thanks

Fix your errors in the order they come, since errors cascade. 

WARNING: Variable cash excluded because of type mismatch with x.

Fix this first, likely the variable 'cash' is character when it should be numeric.

No "cash" is numeric. and school is a character variable.

Post the actual code you're referencing. Make sure it runs with their data and then switch to your data.
