Fill down the data when condition changes within id

Miracle — Mon, 11 May 2020 14:23:17 GMT

Dear All,
I am struggling to work this out and hoping if anyone could help me on this please?
That is, when loc has either changed from left to right or changed from right to left, side will B and remains B throughout the end.
In fact, I have used this dummy data for another question of mine yesterday and was solved by Shmuel.
I tried to tweak Shmuel's code but sadly no success.
Thanking you in advance.

Retain the new variable, and set it with proper conditions:

data want;
set have;
by id;
retain side;
_loc = lag(loc);
if first.id
then side = "-";
else do;
  if side = "U" and loc ne _loc then side = "B";
  if side = "-" and loc ne "" then side = "U";
end;
drop _loc;
run;
