    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a dataset with an ID (id), a discharge date (dcdeathdate), screening (hcvscreening), screening result (hcvresult), and where they were screened (_organizationtax). The variable hcvscreening has three possible values: Yes, No, or a blank entry. The variable hcvresult has three possible values: Positive, Negative, or a blank entry.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;From a previous post, we created a table that lists anyone with discrepant entries of hcvresult if they were screened more than once. The logic is this: for an associated id, if hcvresult=’Yes’ more than once, find those instances where there is a discrepancy of hcvresult. Meaning that there is at least 1 discrepancy of hcvresult (hcvresult from one entry is positive, whereas hcvresult from another entry is negative) from entries that only have hcvscreening as ‘Yes’. I had it listed out like this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;TABLE&gt;&lt;TBODY&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Dcdeathdate&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;ID&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;HCVScreening&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;HCVresult&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;_organizationtax&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;01JAN17:00:00:00&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Negative&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;A&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;15JAN17:00:00:00&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Positive&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;B&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;20JAN17:00:00:00&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Negative&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;A&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;29JAN17:00:00:00&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Positive&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;B&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I wanted to create a separate table which basically list all unique IDs within this new dataset and add a variable called "discreptype" with the following logic:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For the associated ID&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If the earliest entry of HCVresult is Negative and the last entry is Positive, discreptype ='1'&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If the earliest entry of HCVresult is Positive and the last entry is Negative, discreptype='2'&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If anything else, discreptype='3'&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;TABLE&gt;&lt;TBODY&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;ID&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;DiscrepType&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;_organizationtax&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;A&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;2&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;2&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;B&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;C&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here is the original dataset:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE class=" language-sas"&gt;&lt;CODE class="  language-sas"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="token procnames"&gt;data&lt;/SPAN&gt; JANFEB&lt;SPAN class="token punctuation"&gt;.&lt;/SPAN&gt;MULTIVISITS&lt;SPAN class="token punctuation"&gt;;&lt;/SPAN&gt;

      <title>Proc Sql help with creating new variable based on old table</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a dataset with an ID (id), a discharge date (dcdeathdate), screening (hcvscreening), screening result (hcvresult), and where they were screened (_organizationtax). The variable hcvscreening has three possible values: Yes, No, or a blank entry. The variable hcvresult has three possible values: Positive, Negative, or a blank entry.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;From a previous post, we created a table that lists anyone with discrepant entries of hcvresult if they were screened more than once. The logic is this: for an associated id, if hcvresult=’Yes’ more than once, find those instances where there is a discrepancy of hcvresult. Meaning that there is at least 1 discrepancy of hcvresult (hcvresult from one entry is positive, whereas hcvresult from another entry is negative) from entries that only have hcvscreening as ‘Yes’. I had it listed out like this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;TABLE&gt;&lt;TBODY&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Dcdeathdate&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;ID&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;HCVScreening&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;HCVresult&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;_organizationtax&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;01JAN17:00:00:00&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Negative&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;A&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;15JAN17:00:00:00&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Positive&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;B&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;20JAN17:00:00:00&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Negative&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;A&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;29JAN17:00:00:00&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;Positive&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;B&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I wanted to create a separate table which basically list all unique IDs within this new dataset and add a variable called "discreptype" with the following logic:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For the associated ID&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If the earliest entry of HCVresult is Negative and the last entry is Positive, discreptype ='1'&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If the earliest entry of HCVresult is Positive and the last entry is Negative, discreptype='2'&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If anything else, discreptype='3'&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;TABLE&gt;&lt;TBODY&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;ID&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;DiscrepType&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;_organizationtax&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;A&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;2&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;2&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;B&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;P&gt;C&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here is the original dataset:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE class=" language-sas"&gt;&lt;CODE class="  language-sas"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="token procnames"&gt;data&lt;/SPAN&gt; JANFEB&lt;SPAN class="token punctuation"&gt;.&lt;/SPAN&gt;MULTIVISITS&lt;SPAN class="token punctuation"&gt;;&lt;/SPAN&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Where does the file used in your initial proc sql call come from? i.e.:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE class=" language-sas"&gt;&lt;CODE class="  language-sas"&gt;	&lt;SPAN class="token keyword"&gt;from&lt;/SPAN&gt; JANFEB&lt;SPAN class="token punctuation"&gt;.&lt;/SPAN&gt;jfg
&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Also, there are a bunch of irregular characters in the dataset you provided. Are they supposed to be there?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
