I am a beginner in SAS and dont know how to solve the below mentioned
error.

I am sending the DATA the LOG error and the Program for your
reference.

Your help will be highly appriciated.
Thanks,
Hemal

Note this line in the log:
Variable Price in list does not match type prescribed for this

You've set price to be a character variable, thus it can't be used as
an analysis variable. Change your input to read price as a numeric
variable by removing the dollar sign from the input line.
