I would simply do this:
Before the AGGREGATE.
IF (OUTCOME EQ 1) S_EX=ENDDAY.
then
add to the aggregate command:
/S_EXITS=SUM ( S_EX)
AGGREGATE
/OUTFILE='ADPREPORT'
/BREAK=YEAR MONTH
/ADMISSIONS=SUM (STARTDAY)
/EXITS=SUM (ENDDAY)
/S_EXITS=SUM ( S_EX) /CENSUSDAYS=N.
What do you have the DATASET DECLARE commented out and then quoted in the agg command?
That doesn't make a lot of sense?

Dear Listers,
Sorry, however, I am having little luck figuring out the following - after reviewing FM and WWW. I would like to use the following syntax to create new vars by aggregating; however, I would also like to add/create a new var with a conditional aggregate within the following syntax;
when OUTCOME=1.
Aggregate /S_EXITS=SUM (ENDDAY).
Typically, I would use the TEMPORARY. SELECT IF OUTCOME=1 syntax; however, if I do this the condition would apply to all of the aggregate vars... I would like to aggregate the vars below without the condition. What is the best approach to computing the var S_EXITS. Any suggested syntax or references is greatly appreciated.
USE ALL.
*DATASET DECLARE ADPREPORT .
AGGREGATE
/OUTFILE='ADPREPORT'
/BREAK=YEAR MONTH
/ADMISSIONS=SUM (STARTDAY)
/EXITS=SUM (ENDDAY)
/CENSUSDAYS=N.
Cheers,
Damir
