I am really frustrated. I just changed the code definition for certain comorbidities using the same format as the original NCI macro code. However, I got the following error. Could you please help me to identify the problem? I sincerely appreciate your time and help. (I attached the log and original code below for your reference)

But it is NOT the same format.

This one is valid syntax.

if icd9(i) in:('0930','440','441','4471','5571','5579','V434')
 or ('4431'<=:icd9(i)<=:'4439') 
then pvd = 1;

If has two boolean expressions separated by the OR operator. The first is the test of whether any of the values are in a list of possible values and the second is whether the values falls into a range of values.

But this one is invalid syntax.

if icd9(i) in:('2504'<=:icd9(i)<=:'2507') then diabetes_comp = 1;

You are trying to use a boolean expression in the list of values to compare. You either need to use a real list of values:

if icd9(i) in:('2504' '2505' '2506' '2507') then diabetes_comp = 1;

Or use the other pattern.

if ('2504'<=:icd9(i)<=:'2507') then diabetes_comp = 1;
