All,     I am looking to understand how to expand a SAS dataset ? So, let us look at the following example    Data Test; set Sashelp.timedata(obs = 3); Run;   The above would yield the following :        Now, let us say i would like to define the values over the next 3 time intervals and I want something like this:      In this example, volume has the relation of being 1.5 times of the previous rows and the the datetime is just uniform with 30 minute interval.    ...

All,    This is probably a simple way to achieve what I want but I don't know how to do this.    I am importing some data from a csv file using the following code:    proc import datafile=csv out=System dbms=csv replace; /* getnames=yes; */ *since imported names have parantheses or special characters; run;   As shown in the commented code, I have tried commenting the options of getnames out and tried it with the code turned on. Either ways the imported data set has variables that are not being recognized with the rename option.        When attempting to rename :     data Test1; set Work.System(rename = System Power Output(W) = SystemPowOutInW); Run;     ERROR 79-322: Expecting a =.   ERROR 22-7: Invalid option name =.    When attempting to make subset of dataset  data Test1; set Work.System(keep = System Power Output(W) = SystemPowOutInW); Run; ERROR 214-322: Variable name ( is not valid. ERROR 23-7: Invalid value for the KEEP option.   Is there a way to make the column names SAS compliant when importing them from the CSV or can someone demonstrate an example of renaming column names with parantheses and special characters ?  ...

All,       Wondering what is the correct way to call a SAS Macro using the call execute method when it has global variables as parameters.        The following is throwing some errors as shown below:          Code:  Data _null_; If &Flag^= 1 Then call execute('%nrstr(%MyMacro('||&Param1||','||&Param2||','||&Param3||','||&Param4||'))'); Else put "**l Data Is Turned On" ; Run;     Errors:    ...

All,      Looking for an example or help on how to make a PROC HTTP request by passing a JSON message. The R code that I put together which works is below :     RawResponse3 <-POST(RequestURL, add_headers('Authorization' = paste0('Bearer ',AccessToken)), add_headers('Content-Type' = 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'), body = BodyMsg, encode ='json' )   I am thinking the equivalent in SAS would be something like:  Proc HTTP; URL = "&URLDes." Method = "post" ct = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; headers "Authorization" = "Bearer &AccessToken."; encode = 'json'; * Not sure of this line; Run;    Now, how do I pass the JSON message which is represented by "BodyMsg" in my R code ?    ...
