ERROR: A character operand was found in the %EVAL function or %IF condition where a numeric operand is required

我遇到如下错误。

ERROR: A character operand was found in the %EVAL function or %IF condition where a numeric operand is required. The condition was: &N_GROUP

ERROR: The %TO value of the %DO I loop is invalid.

ERROR: The macro ORDERFLOW will stop executing.

当我在没有远程提交的情况下在本地测试它时,它起作用了。但它不适用于 WRDS 服务器。我尝试了很多方法来解决这个问题,但找不到问题所在。

这是我的代码。仅供参考,这是一个更大的试验代码。

任何评论表示赞赏。谢谢

此宏在本地机器上构造为 运行,因为它包含 SIGNON 和 RSUBMIT/ENDRSUBMIT 块。

但是您引用的是通过 SQL INTO 子句在远程计算机上创建的宏变量 N_GROUP。我认为这是错误消息的原因。

在远程机器上将宏定义为 运行 或使用 %SYSRPUT 将宏变量值移回本地机器以便您可以使用它来控制 %DO循环。
