Help in SAS Program automation

Z_Lim — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 09:12:06 GMT

Hi all

I would need some help in writing a program to automate these steps:

1) Group client according to start & end time (if they overlapped, they will be group together) and the room number

2) Flag out the clients if their total sum of 'Est amount' is +/-$5000 - these could be of any combination within the group

Below is a set of sample data and the outcome i would like to achieve. Thanks.

Original Data

client_id	Est amount	Max Play	Avg. Play	in_date	out_date	Start Time	End Time	timeplayed	Room Number
P1	33000	20000	5000	3/7/2012	3/7/2012	4:17:00 PM	6:34:00 PM	137	4444
P2	-30000	7000	2000	3/7/2012	3/7/2012	4:31:00 PM	6:16:00 PM	105	4444
P1	-233000	30000	15000	3/7/2012	3/7/2012	6:34:00 PM	7:55:00 PM	81	4444
P3	-50000	50000	50000	3/7/2012	3/7/2012	6:59:00 PM	7:00:00 PM	1	4444
P1	-47000	20000	10000	3/7/2012	3/7/2012	9:05:00 PM	9:48:00 PM	43	6789
P2	42000	25000	10000	3/7/2012	3/7/2012	9:24:00 PM	10:49:00 PM	85	6789
P4	8000	21000	8000	3/7/2012	3/7/2012	9:38:00 PM	10:55:00 PM	77	6789

Step 1

client_id	Est amount	Max Play	Avg. Play	in_date	out_date	Start Time	End Time	timeplayed	Room Number
Group 1
P1	33000	20000	5000	3/7/2012	3/7/2012	4:17:00 PM	6:34:00 PM	137	4444
P2	-30000	7000	2000	3/7/2012	3/7/2012	4:31:00 PM	6:16:00 PM	105	4444

Group 2
P1	-233000	30000	15000	3/7/2012	3/7/2012	6:34:00 PM	7:55:00 PM	81	4444
P3	-50000	50000	50000	3/7/2012	3/7/2012	6:59:00 PM	7:00:00 PM	1	4444

Group 3
P1	-47000	20000	10000	3/7/2012	3/7/2012	9:05:00 PM	9:48:00 PM	43	6789
P2	42000	25000	10000	3/7/2012	3/7/2012	9:24:00 PM	10:49:00 PM	85	6789
P4	8000	21000	8000	3/7/2012	3/7/2012	9:38:00 PM	10:55:00 PM	77	6789

Step 2

Combinations	Flagged
Group 1
P1 & P2	P1, P2


Group 2
P1 & P3


Group 3
P1 & P2	P1 & P2
P1 & P4
P1 & P2 & P4	P1 &P2 & P4

"Group client according to start & end time (if they overlapped, they will be group together) and the room number"

Your post is obscure . where is start & end time and room number .

What is the meaning of "+/-$5000" ?

Hi Ksharp

Thank you for the response. The Start time and end time is listed on the original data (column 7 and 8 respectively). Room number is on the last column. You might have to scroll to the right to see the figures.

I would like to flag out the combination where the sum of their "Est amount" (column 2) is within the range of + or - $5000.

Step 1 and 2 show the output that i would like to achieve.

Do you consider to use In_date and Out_date as grouping variable too ?

If you only consider " start & end time and the room number" ,that might be meet a error .

Anyway , Anyhow , that is really not easy for all the combination.

data x;
input client_id $ Est_Amount Max_Play Avg_Play in_date : mmddyy10. out_date : mmddyy10.
Start_Time & time11. End_Time  & time12. timeplayed Room_Number ;

format  In_Date Out_Date Date9. Start_Time End_Time time8.;
