Random list of 0 and 1

Hallo!

For my Project I Need to create a random list of 1 and 0. Basically the classic head or tail program.

I know it should be pretty simple but I can´t find any solution in the old Posts.

Can someone help me?

Thank you!

From here:

You can do:

data want;
  call streaminit(123);
  do i=1 to 1000;
    x=round(rand('uniform'));
    output;
  end;
run;

It is called Bernolli Trail/Distribution .

data want;
  call streaminit(123456789);
  do i=1 to 1000;
    x=rand('bern',0.5);
    output;
  end;
run;
proc freq data=want;
table x/missing;
run;
