Dear SAS-L Contributors:
Another question. I am trying to run this query:
proc sql ;
create table acn as
select a.* , b.APS
from All as a,
All_c as b
where put(a.FBD_Month, $8.) = put(b.FBD_Month,$8.) ;
quit ;
FBD_month is in the format MONYY7. I get an error
ERROR: Character format $ in PUT function requires a character argument.
ERROR: Character format $ in PUT function requires a character argument.
I need to convert the FBD month in Character form to solve my problem. I
thought put function converts numeric data into character form but it is not
working.
Thanks for your help in advance.
John
