Loop to create multiple outputs

Priyamvada07 — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 21:48:24 GMT

I have the following data

DATA HAVE;
input year dz area;
cards;
2000 1 08
2000 1 06
2000 1 06
2001 1 08
2001 1 06
2001 1 06
2002 1 08
2002 1 06
2002 1 06
;
run;

I want separate outputs for proc freq dz*area for each year. I can subset data for each year and get the desired table for each year.

data want_2000;

set have;

if year =2000 then output want_2000;

run;

proc freq data=want_2000;

table dz*area;

run;

However, I have too many years to subset the data for each. I want to create a loop to subset each each year's data and then may be a loop to do the proc freq for each subset. Is there a way to use 'array' to be able do what I want?

Use a BY statement.

proc sort data=have;
by year;
run;

proc freq data=have;
by year;
table dz*area;
run;
