taking top observations for multiple variables by id

Greisas — Thu, 16 Jun 2016 11:58:43 GMT

hello,

I have this dataset:

id income1 income2 income3

1 20 30 0

2 4 30 70

3 80 25 30

And go on like this,

I have 100 variables, and 1000 observations.

How can I print only the top 20 observations from each variable, by id one by one in the same program?

Thanks for helping.

Try this:

proc transpose data=have out=int;
by id;
run;

data want (drop=counter);
set int;
by id;
if first.id
then counter = 1;
else counter + 1;
if counter le 20;
run;
