Ling:

The colon ':'   after 'in'  is what causing it, remove that and you should
be fine.

Dear SAS-Lers, I just ran into a strange problem and I can't figure out why
it happened.  Here's the code,

if compress(var1) in: ('>1', '<1') then flag=1;

What I don't understand is why when var1 is blank, the record is flagged
with flag=1.  Does anybody know why this happened?
Thanks.
