Consider that you have a dataset with miles and you want to create a new dataset creating a new variable and if this new variable values reaches the 250 mark then you need to stop. Use the do until as i used.

 

data have;
do miles=100 to 1000 by 50;
output;
end;
run;

data want;
do until(mile<=250);
set have;
mile=miles;
end;
run;
Thanks,
Jag

data milage;
do gallons= 1 to 10;
while(distance<250);
run;

Hi, do you really need a loop ...


data want;
set have (where=(miles le 250));
mile=miles;
run;

 

If you don't want that new variable, don't use "mile=miles"
