Create unique rows

Am trying to create unique row values depending on a numeric value. like If x=6, create 6 unique rows in a dataset. Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried something simple and direct like:

data want;

set have;

do rownum=1 to x;

output;

end;

run;

It would help to provide some example of what other values may be involved.

Basically

Data want;

x=6;

do i=1 to x;

output;

end;

run;

will generate a given number of additional records based on the value of a variable. If the Variable X is a data set and is used on a SET statement then you will get additional records with the same values for all the other variables (except i).
