Problem Note 34391: An SQLPLAN error might occur when you use a calculated field to subset a table
An SQLPLAN error might occur when you use a calculated field to subset a table. The error occurs when you run an SQL procedure query where the following conditions exist:
- A new variable is created.
- The new variable is used in a CASE expression to create another new variable.
- The second created variable is used in a WHERE clause.
- The query includes a summary function.
SQLPLAN errors occur if you submit a query similiar to the following:
proc sql;
create table test as
select
class_1||class_2 AS class,
case
when (calculated class)^='99935'
then "PREM021"
else "0000000"
end
as recordtype,
sum(premium) as total
from DS1
where calculated recordtype^='0000000';
quit;
The errors that result are similar to the following:
ERROR: sqlplan internal error: Cannot find symbol
Class, var=1, tag=0001. This message can be caused
by attempting to make correlated references between
two different items on a single FROM clause.
ERROR: sqlplan internal error: Cannot find symbol
RecordType, var=2, tag=0001. This message can be
caused by attempting to make correlated references
between two different items on a single FROM clause.
