Hi, I'm working on computing two sample test (ttest), I'm VERY new to SAAS.
The code I entered below, is not reading or finding the hourlypay column. What should I do?
Thank you for the support!
data HourlyPay;
infile '/folders/myfolders/ST513_pay_survey.txt';
input HourlyPay Gender$;
run;
proc print data=hourlyPay;
run;
proc ttest data=heights;
class Gender$;
var HourlyPay;
run;

Your input statement needs to reflect the variables in the data set, in the order they appear.
Your dataset has 3 variables, two character one numeric.
Your input statement has two variables listed and not in the same order as your text file.
Fix the INPUT statement.
Thank you! That makes sense!
Your data contains three fields in apparently gender grade and pay
So when you use
input HourlyPay Gender$; SAS has been told to read the first column as pay and the second as gender.
Try
input gender $ grade $ Hourlypay;
In the following code refere to gender only. The $ in the input says "read gender as a character varaible" it is not part of the actual variable name.
Balardw!!! THANK YOU!
This resolved my issue and it worked!
Have a great weekend!
