Page Number counter and reset

PROCDATARUN — Fri, 05 Jun 2020 08:46:51 GMT

Hello Programming Nerds.

Help out here again with page numbers assignment.

Explanation: Input dataset has order details where the same set of Tracknumbers are repeated across SetNumbers for a given Order number.

The end goal is :

Assign page number starting 1 to 10 for a unique Tracknumber for a given order number and set number.
Do not assign any page number after 10 hits for the given Set Number or exclude them starting 11th tracknumber for the given order and set number.
On the same Order Number a second Set number would have the same set of first 10 uniique track numbers which should be assigned no page number or excluded.
Page numbering should start for the 11th unique tracknumber starting 1 through 10,which again should stop after 10 unique track numbers meaning 20th unique track number for all of the Order Number.
This iteration should allow 100 unique track numbers, meaning 10 page sets for 10 set numbers.

See sample input and output dataset below, your help is truly appreciated as always.

You will need to track TRACKs in an order, and unique TRACKs in a set.

- A list of TRACKs in an order can be maintained in a HASH

- The unique TRACKS in the set do not need to be explicitly tracked, only how many TRACKs within the set have been added to the list.

- Only the rows with a track added 1st to 10th item in the list for a SET are output

Example:

Data

data have;

Order: $4. Set: $4. Track: $7. SubGroup: $1.;

Your data does not show the case of <10 unique tracks in the first set and your rules "Page numbering should start for the 11th unique track number starting 1 through 10" are a bit unclear.

If the first SET of an ORDER had 8 unique tracks, would the first two unique tracks in the second SET of the same ORDER be Page 1 and 2, or Page 9 & 10 ?

Re: Page Number counter and reset

PROCDATARUN — Fri, 05 Jun 2020 15:52:51 GMT

Thanks a billion Richard for your help so far.

For an order number, there will only be one set number if there are 10 or less track numbers.

Lets say the order has 55 track numbers, there would be 6 set numbers but all 55 track numbers will be associated with all 6 set numbers.

The need is to assign first 10 track numbers to set 1 ( page 1 - 10 ) , second set of 10 track numbers ( 11-20 ) to set 2 (page 1 - 10) and so on allowing upto 100 track numbers which turn out to 10 pages each for 10 different set numbers.

Did this add any clarity or now ? Please let me know if it hasn't or still have any other question.

__If the first SET of an ORDER had 8 unique tracks, would the first two unique tracks in the second SET of the same ORDER be Page 1 and 2, or Page 9 & 10 ?

If fist set has only 8 unique tracks, there wouldn't be a second set number for that Order number.

I think you should be good with the code posted.

The 'want_row' is for examining algorithm operation and can be used, after tests prove it reliable, to restrict output.

Further restrict to first 100 unique tracks (in what I presume to be in >= 10 sets ?) with following

if tracks.num_items <= 100 and 1 <= seq_TrackInSet <= 10 and Set=FromSet then want_row = '*';

if want_row = '*';   *subsetting if;

drop want_row seq_TrackInSet;

Ran your code and didn't get any errors. What version of SAS are you running (%put &SYSVLONG4) ? What client (PC sas, EG, Studio, other) are you using ? Can you post or attach the entire log after running the code in a fresh session ?
