Subject:      conditional macro start

Dear all,
I want to conduct different tests depending on the number of Doses, which
are included in the data set. I wrote a program code as you'll find below.
The tests are conducted correctly, but the maximum Level seems not to be
detected correctly, which could be caused by incorrect definition of the
maximum level ("ly") or the ly - value is not correctly available for the
if - statement.
Maybe I programmed complet nonsense. I am a newby in programming macro
codes. Has anyone an idea of how I could solve the problem?
Thanks and best regards,
Holger


data morty;
    input Level Dose$  @;
      do i= 1 to 5;
         input mortyr @;
         output;
      end;
      drop i;

1       Control  8.7 12.5 9.0 9.5 8.2
2       V1       9.9 8.6 2.8 5.5 11.5

Here is the code of Macro caseA and caseB, conducting different
statistically analysis depending if the problem is pairwise or multiple.

%Macro uni;
proc univariate data=morty;
var Level;
output max = ly;
run;
%mend uni;

%Macro runny;
%uni;
%if ly > 2 %then
%do;
%caseA;
%end;
%else
%do;
%caseB;
%end;
%mend runny;

%runny;
