When I subset a dataset in a DATA step, SAS will continue to run for much longer than expected, so long in fact that I have not seen it finish running. However, when I break the run and cancel the submitted statements, the log indicates that 1,271 observations were read, which is number of observations that I expect to have in the subset. Why is it that SAS keeps running when all of the observations that match the WHERE condition have been read? In the DATA step I use a WHERE statement to subset for observations where the character variable SUB = '123'. The dataset is large (1.3M+ obs.), but as I mentioned, the resulting data set "filtered_items" should only have 1,271 observations. libname corpxin "\\filepath\folder"; data filtered_items; set corpxin.items_202001; where SUB = '123'; run;

I'm outputting the frequency counts and %s from a crosstab table to a data set (out=test_freq in example code below). The conditional percentages by x values are correct in the SAS Results tab, however the %s in the test_freq output dataset are not correct. Is my syntax incorrect? data test; input x $ y $; cards; Alice blue Alice blue Alice blue Alice green Alice green Alice red Bob blue Bob green Bob green Bob green Bob red Bob red Bob red Bob red ; run; proc freq data=test; table x*y / nopercent nocol out=test_freq; run;

Brand new installation of SAS 9.4 M8 and when writing code to make a plot appear in PROC POWER (the code is correct, per the reference I am using as the accompanying visualization is given), I receive the following error: ERROR: Java virtual machine exception. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.sas.graphics.applets.statgraph.sgchart.data.DataModel Has anyone found a workaround for this?

When I converted the dataset with %xpt2loc I found that creating the XPT in V8 format via %loc2xpt was missing the dataset labels. Dose anyone know about it? Thanks!

Hello, I am getting the following error messages when trying to merge two datasets. One of the datasets I am getting from a csv file, so maybe the issue could be there? I was trying to specify the length of the PID variable for the redcap_sort dataset from the redcap one, which is the one we got from the csv file. However, I keep getting messages that the variable has multiple lengths and it keeps truncating the data. Any PID after 999 gets shortened. So 1000 and 1001 become 100, 1010 becomes 101, etc. Any help or a nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much. Edit: The programming with the csv file already has: data work.redcap; %let _EFIERR_ = 0; infile &csv_file delimiter = ',' MISSOVER DSD lrecl=32767 firstobs=1 ; informat pid $500. ; informat pid_ini $500. ; and the code for format: format pid $500. ; It has this for all the variables. I thought the above code would make it so that the variables would have that limit of 500 characters?
