id rx start_date   days_supply
1 a    1/1/2005     90 
2  b   2/2/2004      60

Hi all, I have the above dataset, I want to divide the periods that the patient can take drug were days supply represent the days the patients taked the drug. For simplicity, if the patient have 90 days means patient takes the drug for 3 months. 60 for two months and so on. Here is the output I am looking for

id rx start_date   days_supply
1  a   1/1/2005     30
1  a   2/1/2005     30 
1  a   3/1/2005    30
2  b   2/2/2004   30
2  b   3/2/2004   30

data have;

infile datalines;

input id rx start_date mmddyy10. days_supply;

format start_date mmddyy10.;

datalines;

1 a 01/01/2005 90

2 b 02/02/2004 60

; run;

data want;

set have;

months = days_supply / 30; /* or ceil(days_supply/30) */

start_date_in = start_date;

do i=1 to months;

start_date = intnx('MONth', start_date_in, i-1) + day(start_date_in) -1;

days_supply = 30;

output;

end;
