how to assign site name and sequence number to dummy id in SAS

Merdock — Thu, 21 Jan 2021 17:35:37 GMT

I have a dataset with many sites (like in excerpt below) where the 3 participants at the end with XXX are additional dummy participants. What I want is to modify these XXX patids so that they are in the format I have in the "want" dataset below, as opposed to having XXX at the end, while keeping the group assignment from have dataset unchanged.

 input site $ patid $ group $;

Your data step code cuts of the last characters of the PATID field.

I think this does what you are asking for.

 input site $ patid :$12. group $;

data want;
   set have;
   retain lastno ;
   if substr(patid,10) ne 'XXX' then lastno=input( substr(patid,10),f3.);
   else do;
      lastno+1;
      patid= cats(substr(patid,1,9),put(lastno,z3.));
   end;
   drop lastno;
run;

Thank you, ballardw. This does work great but what about if I have a site that only has the 3 patids with XXX? I edited my initial dataset so for example, for site QQL, there's no existing patids yet but I'd like to add those 3 dummy patids in there and I wanted them to be assigned as QQLPROT01001, QQLPROT01002, QQLPROT01003. The code now instead assigns them as QQLPROT01017, QQLPROT01018, QQLPROT01019 (I guess since there's no previous QQL patid before them, it takes the last patid from CDF, which is CDFPROT01016)

Try this

data want (drop = n l);
   set have;
   by site notsorted;
   if first.site then n = 0;

   l = substr(patid, length(patid) - 2);
   if not find(l, 'x', 'i') then n = input(l, 3.);
   else n = sum(n, 1);

   substr(patid, 10, 3) = put(n, z3.);

   retain n;
run;

Result:
