I have a fex which creates a report and ranks the records per performance...

quote:

TABLE FILE .....
...
....
ETC...
COMPUTE PCTALLMEET/D10 = (ALLMEET/TOTMEETN) * 100; AS 'PTS, % YES'
COMPUTE PCTALLNMEET/D10 = (ALLNMEET/TOTMEETN) * 100; AS 'PTS, % NO'
-***
COMPUTE PAMFLAG/A1 = IF (PCTALLMEET GT 90) AND (PCTALLMEET LT 101) THEN '1'
ELSE IF (PCTALLMEET EQ 90) THEN '2'
ELSE IF (PCTALLMEET GT 74) AND (PCTALLMEET LT 90) THEN '3'
ELSE IF (PCTALLMEET GE 0) AND (PCTALLMEET LT 75) THEN '4' ELSE '0'; NOPRINT
-*
COMPUTE N4FLAG/A1 = IF PAMFLAG EQ '1' AND LST.BADMRN EQ 0 THEN '1'

ELSE '0'; NOPRINT
-*

RANKED BY LOWEST PAMFLAG NOPRINT
BY UNIT
END
-RUN

When I run this with the &ECHO=ALL, I get this warning message at the bottom of the page:
(FOC32421) WARNING: SORTING ON A COMPUTED FIELD % PAMFLAG

Does anyone know what I can do to eliminate this warning?
Idea
Thanks!

You have to use BY TOTAL when sorting on a computed field.
