WHEN (DemCluster = '') THEN 'U'
ELSE DemCluster
END) AS IMP_DemCluster
,(CASE
WHEN (DemGender = '') THEN 'U'
ELSE DemGender
END) AS IMP_DemGender

END) AS IMP_DemReg
,(CASE

You need a LIBNAME statement to point to the library where your data exist or should be saved,

like:

   libname gct "...path to the library ...";

 

also: in proc sql, when you use  a form of X.y - then

       X should be defined as reference to input dataset an

       y is a variable name.

Your code:

      SELECT GCT.DemCluster,  GCT.DemGender,  GCT.DemReg, GCT.DemTVReg

would be interpreted as: GCT is a reference

                while DemGender   DemReg   DemTVReg - are variables in your input

defined by:

              FROM GCT.ORGANICS;   

that should be changed into:

              FROM GCT.ORGANICS   as GCT;
