Dear Experts, I wrote code which looks pretty much the same in all three parts and differs just because of the different datasets. Data set names are the followings: Retire NoChoice Choice My code looks too long with 3 parts of it almost the same (actually other products(datasets) are coming...

Hi, Still being new in SAS, I am just wondering what CAT means in SAS? When it is needed? When to use it? Is it used just with CARDS? I inherited somebody’s code and struggle with it! For ex. CAT='ALL' CARDS; lines of data Thanks in advance, Rina

Klaz, Actually I found the way!!! Rather tan using delete query I used select and I got recent date. proc sort data=d.denlab; by id dt_dy run: data d.recent; set d.denlab; by id dt_day; if last.id; run; HOWEVER I do not know how to get an appropriate format of the date mm/dd/yyyy Instead...

Hi everybody I created the following SQL query and it does work except I need all other fields in the output. select id,Max(dt_day) FROM DenLab GROUP BY id; However I found out that whenever I add some of the other fields to select clause, it doesn't give me correct answer for example...

One more note... Actually I realized that I can create a copy of the dataset instead aliases to use it in my DELETE query... data d.DenLab2; set d.denlab; run; proc sql; DELETE * FROM d.DenLab WHERE d.DenLab.[bb.dt_day] Is Not Null AND Int([bb.dt_day])<(SELECT...

Hi Everybody, I have a problem with SQL PROC DELETE query... After I successfully created table Denlab I need to eliminate partly duplicated records in order to leave just those ones with the same ID who are the most recent However those ones who have just one record shold not be touched...

Chris, In my previous thread I needed to import for Access to SAS. In the current one I had needed to import from Excel to SAS. I had to change all column headings in Excel however because SAS didn't allow me to rename from improper Excel names (like member id without underscore). On the...

Hi I need to import file from Excel to SAS and to rename all fields. Actually I already imported file from Access ones. I assume it should be like the following....I assume I just need to put FILE instead TABLE (in Access). Also I assume I need to specify a sheet.... I am not sure how to...

Sorry, I mistakenly posted in a wrong part (imstead SAS)!
