I have a data set that summarizes several hundred candidate models and one field is "Vars_in_model" and another is "Variable."   Upon declaration, I do data out Data; length Variable $27; length Variables_in_model $800; run;   That works, but when the data set is updated with the component macros, somehow the "Variable" gets set to size 16 and variables_in_model get set to $57. It is clearly setting it to the shortest. I have unchecked the options in SAS Eg, and re checked and re run and get the same result. What is odd to me is I even take the output data set and try to resize with the same statements and it still stays the same size. I am doing a work around where I start with the largest first so it gets set with the largest, but this seems odd to me. Any suggestions? ... View more

Hi, I am wanting to output the Gini (Somer's D) statistic for a few hundred candidate models, each on a training data set and a validation data set. Problem: I see how I can use ODS output to get the statistic from the training data set, but it appears there is no way to output the statisic for the scored data set.   This is what I am running: ods _all_ close;; ods trace on; proc logistic data=&train outest=temp.outest&seg.&modelid outmodel=temp.model&seg.&modelid; model default12mos(EVENT='1') = &vars/lackfit; score data=&oos out=temp.oos&seg.&modelid outroc=vroc fitstat;roc;roccontrast; output out=temp.a&seg.&modelid p=pred; roc; ods output ROCassociation=temp.ROC1; ods output ParameterEstimates =temp.PARM1; run; ods trace off;   I also tried this:   ods _all_ close;; ods trace on; proc logistic inmodel=temp.model&seg.&modelid; score data=&oos out=temp.oos&seg.&modelid outroc=vroc; run; ods trace off;   It appears when I trace the ODS output there aren't any tables related to the scored data set. What gives? I can't visually look at the output as there are literally 500-600 models to cycle through and of course, it needs to be done ASAP. As it is, I am going to rely on the KS statistic because I can get that with ODS. ... View more
