Hi Rodney,

This list contains character data and therefore must have values enclosed in single quotes in Oracle. Adding the quotes should eliminate the "right parenthesis" error.

SAS-L,

SAS 8.2 on Windoze. Oracle 8.x on remote.

Well I am back with what appears to me to be the same question.

In response to my previous post Wei and David Parnent pointed out that I needed to have commas between each Id in the IN list. I did this and it worked fine. But below is what appears to me to be the same problem with what appears to me to be a very similar SQL. In the log just above line 213 it looks like the second right parenthesis is "seen" as a period.

What is going on here? What obvious thing am I missing?

Again thanks for taking time to help.

Rodney

This is the program:

proc sql noprint; connect to oracle(user='rpresley' orapw='xxxxxxxx' path="tns:c1s80_sdps" schema="np_sdps" ); /* create table temp.benes as */ validate select * from connection to oracle (select bene_birth_dt, bene_srnm_name, bene_gvn_name, bene_mdl_name, bene_clm_num from beneficiary where state_code='GA' and bene_clm_num IN (&benes ) ) ; quit; %runn;

This is the log file:
