how to create sequence number in data step using if and _n_

What do you mean by a sequence number?

andreas_lds — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 09:33:28 GMT

and why do you want to use an if-statement?

You only need _N_.

If it is more complicated than that, post input data (in usable form!) and the expected output.

proc sql;
select *,monotonic() as sno from sashelp.class;

quit;

same output with _n_ in datastep

It is extremely simple, you can do that on your own. Show us what you tried if it did not work.
