Subject:      variable uinitialized.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi all,
 
Using 8.2 on Win XP Professional V5.1
 
Any reason why I get a "variable unitialized" 
note in the code below?
I am getting a few 'Notes' in other parts of the code as well?
This runs ok on V8.0
Any hints will be appreciated.
 
Thanks
PC
 
1199  data rei2(rename=(d3=dept));
1200    merge rei2(in=a) consta2(in=b);
1201    by deptp;
1202    if a then do;
1203     if b and campus='BU' and substr(dept,1,1) ^= "G" then do;
1204        put "changing dept code for: " unitcd campus " from " d2 "
to " budept;
1205        d3=budept;
1206      end;
1207      else d3=d2;
1208      drop dept;
1209      output;
1210    end;
1211  run;
NOTE: Variable dept is uninitialized.
