Hi all, I am trying to generate a table with 100 observations, one variable. This is a discrete variable with 4 levels so I used this code below and everything is fine. data BMI (drop = i) ; array prob [4] (0.01, 0.1, 0.26, 0.63); call streaminit(1234); do i = 1 to 100; BMI = rand("Table", of prob ); output; end; run; quit; However, what I really want is this to store the proportions (0.01, 0.1, 0.26, 0.63) in a matrix variable z, like this below, and then pass that matrix variable via array, prob into the rand function, as shown below. proc iml; use CHIS.RBMI_Freq; read all var {PERCENT} into XBMI ; Z = ((XBMI[1:4,])*.01); print Z; run; data BMI (drop = i) ; array prob Z ; call streaminit(1234); do i = 1 to 100; BMI = rand("Table", of prob ); output; end; run; quit; When I do this I get an error Argument 2 to function RAND('Table',.) at line 822 column 15 is invalid. I need help. Thanks in advance.
