I would like to apply a macro to generate different bbdd, one for each value of my_var.
I correclty import into memory the values with 5 digits, but I cannot remove the blank after the strings with four digits such as 9916, so I will see "9916 ", instead of "9916".
This cause me probles in a following code (not posted) where I want to match the values of my_var with the one of another dataset
data my_var; input my_var $5.; cards; 27016 27015 27014 27011 27013 9916 9917 9909 9908 9910 9904 9905 9911 9912 9936 9935 9937 9939 ; run;
data my_var; set my_var;my_var=compbl(my_var);run;
data my_var; set my_var;my_var=compress(my_var," ","");run;
data my_var; set my_var;my_var=tranwrd(my_var," ","");run;
* Generate List of Possible Values; proc freq data = my_var noprint; table my_var/ out = bbdd; run;
*********************************************************************; * Import Values Into Memory; data _null_; set bbdd end=last; call symput('memory' || trim(left(_n_)), my_var); if last then call symput('Nummemory', _n_); run;
%put Total Number of memory Variables: &Nummemory; %put memory Variables: &memory1 &memory2 &memory3 &memory4 &memory5 &memory6 &memory7 &memory8 &memory9 &memory10 &memory11 &memory12 &memory13 &memory14 &memory15 &memory16 &memory17 &memory18 ;
*target is a big dataset, I want to create subset, using a "where", according to the values imported in memory
data target; input my_var $5.; cards; 27016 27015 27014 27011 27013 9916 9917 9909 9908 9910 9904 9905 9911 9912 9936 9935 9937 9939 ; run;
%let intro=p_;
option mtrace mprint; %macro Creatememory; %do i = 1 %to &Nummemory; data &intro&&memory&i; set target;where (my_var = "&&memory&i"); %end; run; %mend Creatememory; %Creatememory; *********************************************************************;
Thanks in advance
