I have the following dataset with character variables (subject, style) and
numeric variables (no1, no2, no3 no4,no5.........n)
subject style no1 no2a no3h no4u no5t
------- ----- --- --- ---- ---- ---
1023 PN 0 1 4 2 9
1023 SN 0 . . . .
1098 PN 1 5 6 7 8
1098 SN 0 0 . . 0
I need to create a data set where if all the numeric variables (no1, no2a, no3h, no4u, no5t...n)
have 0 or 1 for the same row then that row needed to be deteled. I can not specity the variable name
in the program and I have to use the code inside a macro and the number of the variable can anything.
I think there might be a way to do something like:
if n01*no2*........*no5t*.....n <1 then detele.
But not sure how to put in a code to execute.
The result dataset should be as below:
subject style no1 no2a no3h no4u no5t
------- ----- --- --- ---- ---- ---
1023 PN 0 1 4 2 9
1098 PN 1 5 6 7 8
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
