 Posted by Guest - Sas Error - Missing Numeric Suffix? :
What is this error in the SAS program code below? I can't get past it but it keeps asking about a numeric suffix which makes no sense.
1 OPTIONS NOCENTER LINESIZE=MAX;
2 DATA FILOTHR;
3 INFILE INOTHR;
4 INPUT @1 NAME-FIRST $25.
ERROR: Missing numeric suffix on a numbered variable list (NAME-FIRST).
ERROR: Missing numeric suffix on a numbered variable list (NAME-FIRST).
ERROR: Missing numeric suffix on a numbered variable list (NAME-FIRST).
5 @28 NAME-LAST $25.
ERROR: Missing numeric suffix on a numbered variable list (NAME-LAST).
ERROR: Missing numeric suffix on a numbered variable list (NAME-LAST).
ERROR: Missing numeric suffix on a numbered variable list (NAME-LAST).
6 @58 ADDRESS-1 $75.

SAS doesn't allow any hyphens in your field variables, so its giving you error messages on it. Just change your sas names there to underscores or remove the hyphens and the errors will go away.

SAS really needs to upgrade their error message to say something that makes sense. Why not just actually say "hyphen or underscore" not allowed here? lol, instead sas throws a cryptic message out that everyone has to go searching for.

SAS is a great language to work with on flat files but yeah I agree that the sas error messsages arent the easiest to figure out.
