Firstly, thanks for pointing me in the IML direction. I have never
encountered IML before, and certainly not IML Macro code, so you can
just imagine my bewilderment here having to deal with both in tandem.

This program is obviously not my own. It belongs to a professor who
makes it available for d/l on his website. What I need to do is to run
my data through his algorithm and compare the results to something else
that I have developed. The program contains over 1000 lines of code and
begins with a %macro assignment, followed by the only mention of IML:

PROC IML worksize = 30000;

And then goes into many sets of   %IF &link = 1 %THEN %DO; statements
with Start ...; finish; statements (which I am guessing are IML loops).

Near the end of the program there is this chunk of code, which I
believe contains the syntax problem:

%IF (%length(&CLSOUT) ^= 0) %THEN %DO;
   I = (1:k)`;
   C1 = { I NI TRQWCLS COOKDCLS GCLS &XVAR };
   xvar = dfbetcls;
   clout2 = i||ni||trqwcls||cookdcls||gcls||xvar;
   create &CLSOUT from clout2 [rowname = id colname = c1] ;
   setout &CLSOUT;
   append from clout2 [rowname = id colname = c1];
%END;

   C1 = {id};   C2 = {ni};
   c4 = {trqwcls}; c5 = {cookdcls}; c6 = {gcls}; c7 = {dfbetcls};

*   print/ 'Leverage, residuals, and influence for clusters',,
         id  [colname = C1]
         ni  [colname = C2 format = 6.0]
         trqwcls [colname = C4 format = 8.4]
         cookdcls [colname = C5 format = 8.4]
         gcls [colname = C6 format = 10.4]
         dfbetcls [colname = C7 format = 8.4],;

Unfortunately, I don't think I can convert the %IF %Then %Do %END to a
proc IML statement in the middle of everything here. Is there a way to
fix it so that your suggestion below will work?

Thanks,

Machelle
