Hello everyone,   I have a problem creating a macro variable made up of values in different length needed.   Here I tried to store the list of  icd10 code corresponding to a certain value of another variable called ccs10Cat.   proc sql noprint; select distinct quote(compress(icd10Code)) format $7., "CCS10_&ccsValue." into :icd10list separated by ",", :ccs10Var from Ccs.Icd10ccsmapping where compress(ccs10Cat) in ("&ccsValue."); quit; %put &icd10list; %put &ccs10Var; Ideally, i could save the icd10 codes like 'I8000', 'I8001', .....'I80201', 'I80202'........ 'Z86718', 'Z8672' into the list for a value of the corresponding ccs equal to 118. In general, an icd10 code could be up to 7 characters in length. But here the maximum that i saved is 5. As you can see the value like "I8012" was supposed to be 'I80201'. SYMBOLGEN: Macro variable ICD10LIST resolves to "I8000","I8001","I8002","I8003","I8010","I8011","I8012","I8013","I8020","I8021","I8022","I8023","I8029","I803","I80 8","I809","I81","I820","I821","I8221","I8222","I8229","I823","I8240","I8241","I8242","I8243","I8244","I8249","I824Y ","I824Z","I8250","I8251","I8252","I8253","I8254","I8259","I825Y","I825Z","I8260","I8261","I8262","I8270","I8271"," I8272","I8281","I8289","I8290","I8291","I82A1","I82A2","I82B1","I82B2","I82C1","I82C2","Z8671","Z8672" I'm hoping some experts here could help me fix my errors and your inputs will be highly appreciated. Thank you so much!   ... View more

Hi everyone,   I have a problem doing mulptile talbes full join correctly. I'm hoping someone could help me point out what cause the error in my final joined table.   I have four datasets, each row has id (DESY_SORT_KEY), a dichomas variable on condition of interest, year of treatment/diagnosis, and a year variable with value of 2011/2012/2013. So in each of the longitudinal dataset, each id has three rows indicating yearly data (2011-2013). The four have datasets have overlapping ids but not exactly the same. In the final want dataset, i want to have all the ids from the four have datasets and the combined information by two link variables:DESY_SORT_KEY and longitudinalYear. My final dataset using the code below generates duplicate id and year combo because i'm joining the tables incorrectly. FYI, I checked back with my four original datasets. There are no duplicate id and year comobo. I'm hoping someone could help point out what went wrong with my code. Thank you for your help!   proc sql; create table temp.balancedlongitudinal4POP as select coalesce (a.DESY_SORT_KEY,b.DESY_SORT_KEY, c.DESY_SORT_KEY, d.DESY_SORT_KEY) as DESY_SORT_KEY, coalesce (a.year,b.year, c.year, d.year)as LongitudinalYear, coalesce (a.PSG, 0)as PSG, coalesce(a.year_PSGtesting,.)as year_PSGtesting, coalesce (b.OSA_diag,0)as OSA_diag, coalesce(b.year_OSAdiagtesting,.) as year_OSAdiagtesting, coalesce (c.PAPInit, 0) as PAP_Init, coalesce(c.year_PAPInit,.) as year_PAPInit, coalesce (d.PAP_Comp, 0)as PAP_Comp from temp.longPsgNodup as a full join temp.longOSADiagNodup as b on a.DESY_SORT_KEY=b.DESY_SORT_KEY and a.year=b.year full join temp.longPapinitNodup as c on b.DESY_SORT_KEY=c.DESY_SORT_KEY and b.year=c.year full join temp.longPapCompNodup as d on c.DESY_SORT_KEY=d.DESY_SORT_KEY and c.year=d.year ; quit; ...
