Hey everyone, I have written some codes to calculate the P_margin for 4 different years. the code and the results are shown below. But I would like to have S for year 1 eq to 1. How can I modify this code ?

 

Thanx so much 🙂

How about simply

 

data B;
   S=1;P=0.02;Year=1;P_marg=S*P;output;
      do year=2 to 4;
        S=S*(1-P);
        P_marg=S*P;
      output;
 end;
run;

There's another way to interpret your request.  It's possible you want exactly the same numbers you got from your original program, but with S=1 on the first observation.  For that:

 

data B;

  S=1;

  P=0.02;

  do year=1 to 4;

     S=S*(1-P);

     if year=1 then replacement_S=1;

     else replacement_S = S;

     P_marg = S * P;

     output;

  end;

  drop S;

  rename replacement_S = S;

run;
