SAS: Exception caught in FSCREATE. ERROR: Variable COUNT not found.


This is one of those errors I probably won't see again for a couple of years, and I will have forgotten the fix. Hopefully I will remember this post.





ERROR: Exception caught in FSCREATE.
ERROR: An error occurred in the interval detection procedure. ERROR: Variable COUNT not found.



Cause was an empty input dataset.  We had written a program which cycled through a control table containing segmentation values, and then subset the data by that value, but in this case there was no such value, and FSCREATE was attempting to process an empty dataset.

You might want to look for something like this to see if you had the same problem...


NOTE: There were 0 observations read from the data set
