"Add" to what? Do you need a new variable? Please post the dataset you want to create.

Do you want to concatenate the macro variable value to concatenation of other 3 variables ?

Declare the macro variables first, then add the difference variable in the same DATA step:

%let Diff_DD = 1;

%let Diff_SD = 2;

%let Diff_TD = 3;

data deposits;

   input acctno type $ balance;

  

   select (acctno);

      when (1) difference = &Diff_DD;

      when (2) difference = &Diff_SD;

      when (4) difference = &Diff_TD;

      otherwise;

   end;

   cards;

               {etc}

;

run;

Why are the values only added some of the time?  We can see that you want to sum with the three additional values for demand, time and saving, but you haven't given any clue as to why you are only doing it with certain records.

Astounding
PROC Star

If you want to apply these changes on every observation, you can do it with one additional statement:

balance = balance + &DIFF_DD * (type='Demand') + &DIFF_SD * (type='Saving') + &DIFF_TD * (type='Time');

As others have noted, your intention isn't 100% clear, even based on your revised posting.  Why is &DIFF_TD added to "7 TIme 23" but not to "2 Time 20" ?  Based on your answer, there will likely be further coding necessary.  It won't be difficult, but it will require a clear understanding of what you are trying to achieve.

Good luck.

OniMoni, indeed answering Art Tabachneck's question would clear things up.

In the meantime, here is an ever shorter form of Astounding's solution, even making the macro variable unnecessary:

balance = balance + (whichc(type, 'Demand', 'Saving', 'Time'));

Cheers.
