Hello, I was trying to run this code: Data HW4set; set mylib.HW4; if 1 = p1p then correct = correct+1; If 1 = p2p then correct = correct+1; run; But when I run it I get a variable of missing values. How do you make a variable dependent on whether the value is 1 or 2(true/false)? ... View more

Hello, I'm having trouble with making a new variable that will count the 'correct' answers in the first 17 questions on a survey. Whenever I use this code: Data HW4set; If 1 = p1p then Correct=correct+1; If 1 = p2p then Correct=correct+1; Run; It just deletes all the data from the set.

Hello. When I import a file there's an automatic var1 that appears, but when I try to use a formatting statement it doesn't use the observations in the first variable, instead it reads nothing and erases the observations in the first variable, as well as the name, but there's still a space for it.   Here is the code I'm using: Proc import datafile= 'Y:\SAS\Political_Party.txt' out= politicalparty replace; getnames=no; run; /this gives me all the observations in the set/; data mylib.politicalparty; set politicalparty; run;   data work.politicalparty; set politicalparty; Length gender $1 party $2 vote 3 foreign 4 spend 5; label gender= 'Gender' party='Political Party' vote='Did you vote in the last election?' foreign="Do you agree with the government's foreign policy?" spend= 'Should we increase domestic spending?'; run;   Thank you for reading. ...
