I am just a very beginner SAS programmer. I am trying to do the following inside a data step: data work.gifts;     set orion.nonsales;     length Gift1 $7 Gift2 $10;     Gift1=select (Gender) when ('M') 'gloves'                                         when ('F') 'scarves'                                        otherwise 'caffee'                     end; run; However I am getting this error:  ERROR 68-185: The function SELECT is unknown   Gender is a variable included already in the nonsales table and Gift1 and Gift2 are two new variables that I am trying to conditionally initialize based on the value in the variable Gender.  Any help would be really appreciated! Thank you! ... View more
