Thank you, Peter ... and Eva, and James, and Tom, and Koen, and David, and
Bernard, and Ed, and whoever has sent me something after I push the "send"
button.  It really pays to have awake friends!

 Subject: Antwort: IF-THEN LOG ERROR









check out the character between '20320' and '20910'
I should be a comma ',' but it is  a dot '.'
" '20320'.'20910' "
Worth trying to fix this first

Betreff:       IF-THEN LOG ERROR
Nachrichtentext:


The following SAS 6.12 log shows the first error in a much longer program.  I
suspect the
problem with the IF-THEN has to do with parentheses.  The line overtop the 200
occurs
directly lined up under the word "and" in line 288 (it got shifted when I cut
and pasted
into this email, but I hopefully have moved it back to the correct spot).  I am
wondering
what the problem is.  Maybe it would help if I woke up!  :)  Mark
