Remove the extraneous period (.) and the code should work

Change

%counts(con=where=(flag ="YES".),out=row1 );

to

%counts(con=where=(flag ="YES"),out=row1 );

  • correct answer of course, but the Stack Overflow standard for typos is to vote-to-close:site specific:typo, and then mention the typo in comments; if it's just a typo we don't want to keep the question/answer around for posterity (unless, perhaps, it's a *very common* typo due to something beyond just accidental keypresses). – Joe Nov 13 '20 at 06:27
