    LEFT function in SAS-SQL creates a warning, but it's plain SQL

    Hi, I've created a (SAS) SQL query, but this generate a warning ("Function LEFT requires at most 1 argument(s). The extra one(s) will be ignored."). In Management Studio the query (this part) works great, but not in SAS. Can anyone see the problem? The 'faulty' part: WHEN...

    Checking for multiple numbers

    Hi all! Should be a simple task, but I don't get the code right... I want to know (and FLAG) if a record contains a 1 time number or if there are other records with the same number. So I've got a dataset like: 1 text 2 text 2 text 3 text 4 text 4 text 4 text I want to create a 'FLAG', so I...

    PRXPARSE, is it possible to combine selections?

    All, I've got a datastep in which I extract a number from a string. But... The strings are changing from time to time, but only the first part before the word "Incident" (sometime there appear some numbers, but I don't need those). So what I can do, is make 2 datasteps with the statements...

    Delete parts of variables, but how??

    THanks! The only thing is, when there's no "debtor" stated in the records, SAS responds with the error(s): "NOTE: Invalid second argument to function SUBSTR at line 235 column 14.". While I get a list of multiple errors (ending by " Limit set by ERRORS= option reached. Further errors of this...

    Delete parts of variables, but how??

    Hello, I've got a dataset in which I want to remain everything after a particular word, like "debtor". Like: ID | Variable_1 1 xxx debtor profile 7 2 x debtor profile 3 to 1 3 xx debtor profiles 133 to 155 4 xxxx debtor profile 3 So the final result would be: ID | Variable_1 1...

    Fill in dates between incident dates, but how??

    Well, I've got this particular problem coverred with a sort of reversed 'LAG' construction (the problem was, I've got to had a field of the second row before the first was released...): Data test2; _n_ ++ 1;if _n_ <=n then do; set test1 point = _n_; date_end=incident_date; id2=id; end; else...

    Fill in dates between incident dates, but how??

    All, I've got a table with multiple variables, an incident date and id's which can occur more than once. The incident date changes every time an incident occur. Like: ID | Incident txt || Incident Date 1 A 01-01-2008 1 A 05-03-2008 1 B...

    Cartesian in datastep?

    Thanks! I tried for long time to make it work within a datastep like below, but yes, SQL will make life easier for this... data a; do while not ( end_of_b ); set b end = end_of_b; end_of_c = 0; do while not ( end_of_c ); set c end = end_of_c; output; end...

    Cartesian in datastep?

    Hi all, I've got the following problem: My customers can be provided with serveral profiles. These profiles, ofcourse, can change in time per customer. In my database this is stored as "Customer has changed from 'Profile 21' to 'Profile 2'". These changes are recorded with a date on the same...

    Merging in DO LOOP??

    Yes, well something like this: Step 1 (no idea how to do without a huge table!): Determine the arrear for every customer_id on every date, where the arrear on a specific date is the last known arrear (on incident date). So if the arrear on the 1st of february was 1 month, it still should be 1...

    Merging in DO LOOP??

    Hey Chris, No, right now I've got 1 table with reporting dates (start and end dates can be set manually by me), the incident dates (the date a change in arrear occur) and the actual arrear. I want to report on day-bases (so I can get a clear graphical overview for every month), like: Period...
