SMC Procedure
STATEVAR Statement
STATEVAR variable-list;
The STATEVAR statement specifies the names of the state variables in the SMC procedure. Whether the STATEVAR statement is required depends on whether the SUBMITMODEL statement is specified: If you specify the SUBMITMODEL statement, the STATEVAR statement is ignored; if you omit the SUBMITMODEL statement, the STATEVAR statement is required. You can specify one or more state variables in a space-separated variable-list. Each state variable must have corresponding INITSTATE and STATE statements.
The state variable names are case-insensitive, and the following conditions must be satisfied:
The state variable names must not have duplicates.
The state variable names must not contain the dot (".") symbol.
"_t" or "_time" is a reserved name in PROC SMC. "_t" or "_time" (case-insensitive) must not be used as any state variable name.
"dft_" is a reserved prefix in PROC SMC. The state variable names must not start with "dft_" (case-insensitive).
For example, the following statement specifies the state variables x1 and x2:
statevar x1 x2;
