data TBD; set rawdata; TVFC_Suspended = "Suspended"; if Follow_up_Due_Date > "&suspended"d then delete; if Follow_up_Complete_Date not in ("Overdue" "Pending")then delete; if ActivityDate>(today()-5) then output; run;

This code appears to be written in SAS and processes a dataset named rawdata. Here's what it does, step by step:

  1. Create a New Dataset (TBD):
    The data TBD; creates a new dataset called TBD.

  2. Read Data from rawdata:
    The set rawdata; statement reads the data from the dataset rawdata into the new dataset for processing.

  3. Add a New Variable (TVFC_Suspended):
    The line TVFC_Suspended = "Suspended"; creates a new variable named TVFC_Suspended and assigns it the constant string "Suspended" for every observation.

  4. Delete Rows Based on Follow_up_Due_Date:
    The condition if Follow_up_Due_Date > "&suspended"d then delete; checks whether the Follow_up_Due_Date is greater than the SAS macro variable &suspended (interpreted as a date with the d suffix).

    • If the condition evaluates to true, the observation (row) is removed from the dataset.
    • Note: The behavior of this depends on whether the &suspended macro variable has been defined and its value (as a date).
  5. Delete Rows Based on Follow_up_Complete_Date:
    The condition if Follow_up_Complete_Date not in ("Overdue" "Pending") then delete; checks whether the Follow_up_Complete_Date variable does not have the values "Overdue" or "Pending".

    • If Follow_up_Complete_Date is neither "Overdue" nor "Pending", the observation is deleted.
  6. Output Rows Based on ActivityDate:
    The condition if ActivityDate > (today() - 5) then output; checks if the ActivityDate is within the last 5 days (from today).

    • If this condition is true, the row is included in the output dataset TBD.

Summary:

This code creates a filtered subset of the rawdata dataset. It performs the following actions:

  • Creates a new variable (TVFC_Suspended) with the value "Suspended".
  • Removes rows where Follow_up_Due_Date exceeds a specified macro variable date (&suspended).
  • Removes rows where Follow_up_Complete_Date is not "Overdue" or "Pending".
  • Keeps only rows where ActivityDate is within the last 5 days.

The resulting dataset is written to TBD.
