Hi there - I'm a beginner with SAS (on a Mac) and am trying to use proc logistic - but I keep getting error responses. My code is as below:    data sasintro.data_clean; set allpreg; if qx17 ^=‘ ‘ then do; Policy=0; end; if qx17="Yes" then Policy=1; if index (qx22, "a") then comp=1; else comp=0; run; proc logistic data=sasintro.data_clean descending; model comp=Policy/rl; run;   The log response is as below:  1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK; 72 73 data sasintro.data_clean; 74 set allpreg; 75 if qx17 ^=‘ ‘ then do; ___ 388 76 ERROR 388-185: Expecting an arithmetic operator.   ERROR 76-322: Syntax error, statement will be ignored.   76 Policy=0; 77 end; ___ 161 ERROR 161-185: No matching DO/SELECT statement.   78 if qx17="Yes" then Policy=1; 79 if index (qx22, "a") then comp=1; 80 else comp=0; 81 run;   NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors. WARNING: The data set SASINTRO.DATA_CLEAN may be incomplete. When this step was stopped there were 0 observations and 32 variables. WARNING: Data set SASINTRO.DATA_CLEAN was not replaced because this step was stopped. NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time): real time 0.02 seconds cpu time 0.02 seconds     NOTE: PROCEDURE LOGISTIC used (Total process time): real time 0.00 seconds cpu time 0.00 seconds   ERROR: Variable COMP not found.

Thank you!  ... View more

Hi there,   I am running a proc freq for a numerical variable - and SAS is generating separate rows for the same numbers. For instance, it goes in chronological order w/ the frequencies from 1 to 156, then after that it starts going through lower numbers again. So there may be fifteen 1s, but SAS is separating them into one group of 8 and one group of 7 in the proc freq - essentially reporting the response of '1' as separate responses when it is the same.    I've checked that in the input data the font/size/spacing of these variables is all the same. Is there a way I can program for it to stop doing that?    Thanks!  ... View more

Hi there:   I am working w/ a .csv file exported from a Qualtrics survey. One of my questions had a checklist option, and the output from Qualtrics when I run a proc freq gives a table with all possible combinations of answers.    For instance: 12 people said option 1 and option 2, 11 people said just option 1, 110 people said option 1, 2 and 3, 40 people said options 1 and 3, 15 people said just option 3 etc.    My goal is to get the proc freq to create a table that provides each possible answer separately, as in: how many people selected option 1, how many people selected option 2, how many people selected option 3. So that I can see each variables response separately.    Below is what I have been told to code (these are character variables) - it doesn't generate any errors, but it produces the same proc freq table with all the possible combinations tallied.    data sasintro.data_clean; set allpreg; if qx11 ^=" " then do;  Heavy_workload="0"; Concern_regarding_career="0"; Discouraged_by_partner="0"; Discouraged_by_peers="0"; Discouraged_by_supervisor="0"; Other_please_specify="0"; end;   if index (qx11,"Heavy") then Heavy_workload="1";  if index (qx11,"Concern") then Concern_regarding_career="1"; if index (qx11,"partner") then Discouraged_by_partner="1"; if index (qx11,"peers") then Discouraged_by_peers="1"; if index (qx11,"supervisor") then Discouraged_by_supervisor="1"; if index (qx11,"Other") then Other_please_specify="1";    run;   Any ideas what my issue is?    Thanks 🙂  ...
