Could you PLEASE post your code properly, like this:

data l;
input a b;
cards;
1 1
2 2
2 3
3 .
3 .
3 .
3 .
;
run;

It's not rocket science, really.

Please state if the code above is what you intended.

@rajeshalwayswel

Assuming "sure...." means yes, that's how I intended to post my code.

data l;
  input a b;
  cards;
1 1
2 2
2 3
3 .
3 .
3 .
3 .
;
run;

proc sql;
  create table want as
    select a, b, count(*) as cnt
      from l
        group by a,b
  ;
quit;

Try this:

proc sql;
create table want as
select count(*) as a, a as b
from l
group by a;
quit;

Hi,

proc sql;
create table final as
select a,
count(a) as COUNT
from l
group by a;
quit;

data ds;
set l;
by a b;
keep a count;
retain count 0;
if first.a=1 then count=1;
else count=sum(count,1);
if last.a=1 then output;
run;

Thanks,

srinath
