It would help to provide some example of what other values may be involved.

 

Basically

 

Data want;

  x=6;

  do i=1 to x;

      output;

   end;

run;

 

will generate a given number of additional records based on the value of a variable. If the Variable X is a data set and is used on a SET statement then you will get additional records with the same values for all the other variables (except i).
