I have this dataset that has ID, Date, and encounter. If the dates are within 30 days apart, the encounter remains the same encounter.

I want to say something like "if the person exists only once and has only one encounter, then newvar = 1"

I also want to say "if the person exists multiple times and only has three or less encounters AND those three encounters occur within the same year (365 days), then newvar2 = 1"

I also want to say "if the person exists multiple times and has three or more encounters AND those encounters occur within mutiple years, then newvar3 = 1"

I'm not entirely sure where to start.

So if encounter 1 has dates 10jan2019 and 30 jan2019, and encounter 2 has dates 25jan2020 and 20feb2020, is that still NEWVAR=2 ?

Please fix your data step, so that it creates correct data.
