hello all-

suppose i have a dataset A with one variable x:

data A (keep=x);

do i=1 to 3 by 1;

do x=1 to 2 by 1; output;

end;

end; run;

now i want to recode this data set where if x=1 then x='no'; else x='yes'. thus now A will look like

yes

any way to do this?

thanks

You have your proc format, use it with a put statement.

x1_temp=put(x1, xone.);
