How to Return Each Value in Temporary Array

[acemanhattan]

The code I have below takes the current and previous 7 observations of INV_CR_t and returns the higest, lowest, and Sum of the values.  For troubleshooting purposes I'd like to be able to see each value from the array on every observation, not just the min and max values. Is there anything I can do to update this code

data Want;
	array p{0:7} _temporary_;
	set have;
	by STATE PlAN LAG;

	p{mod(_n_,8)} = var_8;	
	min= min(of p{*});
	max= max(of p{*});
	Sum = sum(of p{*});


run;

To go from data that looks like this 

State	Plan	Lag	Var1
OR	a	0	32
OR	a	0	43
OR	a	0	46
OR	a	0	69
OR	a	0	12
OR	a	0	25
OR	a	0	39
OR	a	0	64
OR	a	0	65
OR	a	0	8
OR	a	0	67
OR	a	0	12
OR	a	0	58
OR	a	0	5
OR	a	0	23
OR	a	0	39
OR	a	0	50
OR	a	0	57
OR	a	0	27
OR	a	0	41
OR	a	0	16
OR	a	0	27
OR	a	0	49
OR	a	0	34
OR	a	0	41

To data that looks like this (it doesn't matter to me whether the variables descend from first to last observation or otherwise):

State	Plan	Lag	Var1	Var2	Var3	Var4	Var5	Var6	Var7	Var8	Min	Max	Sum
OR	a	0	32
OR	a	0	43
OR	a	0	46
OR	a	0	69
OR	a	0	12
OR	a	0	25
OR	a	0	39
OR	a	0	64	39	25	12	69	46	43	32	12	69	266
OR	a	0	65	64	39	25	12	69	46	43	12	69	298
OR	a	0	8	65	64	39	25	12	69	46	8	69	320
OR	a	0	67	8	65	64	39	25	12	69	8	69	282
OR	a	0	12	67	8	65	64	39	25	12	8	67	280
OR	a	0	58	12	67	8	65	64	39	25	8	67	280
OR	a	0	5	58	12	67	8	65	64	39	5	67	313
OR	a	0	23	5	58	12	67	8	65	64	5	67	279
OR	a	0	39	23	5	58	12	67	8	65	5	67	238
OR	a	0	50	39	23	5	58	12	67	8	5	67	212
OR	a	0	57	50	39	23	5	58	12	67	5	67	254
OR	a	0	27	57	50	39	23	5	58	12	5	58	244
OR	a	0	41	27	57	50	39	23	5	58	5	58	259
OR	a	0	16	41	27	57	50	39	23	5	5	57	242
OR	a	0	27	16	41	27	57	50	39	23	16	57	253
OR	a	0	49	27	16	41	27	57	50	39	16	57	257
OR	a	0	34	49	27	16	41	27	57	50	16	57	267
OR	a	0	41	34	49	27	16	41	27	57	16	57	251

Do you mean you wanna keep the array elements?

data Want;
	array p{0:7} p0-p7 ;
        retain p;
	set have;
	by STATE PlAN LAG;

	p{mod(_n_,8)} = var_8;	
	min= min(of p{*});
	max= max(of p{*});
	Sum = sum(of p{*});


run;

See if this helps,

This is exactly what I needed!  Thanks.  

Is there a simple way to get the variables listed at the far right of my data, instead of on the left

[novinosrin]

Well, of course yes. Basically, you simply need to allow the compiler to compile your input dataset variables before compiling array elements as it constructs the PDV. And so how do you do that-

 Swap 🙂 

data Want;
set have;
by STATE PlAN LAG;
array p{0:7} p0-p7 ; retain p;
p{mod(_n_,8)} = var_8;
min= min(of p{*});
max= max(of p{*});
Sum = sum(of p{*});

run;

Ah, too easy! Thanks.
