Multiplying variable by a number

Hi,

I am very new to SAS and have a quick question. Is there any way to multiply a column by another number (17 in my case)?

Thanks

the answer is in your question:

data have;

do i=1 to 10;

output;

end;

run;

data want;

set have;

want=i*17;

run;

or, if you don't want to create a new table:

data have;
do i = 1 to 10;
    output;
    end;
run;

proc sql;
update have
set i = i*17;
quit;
