Hello,
I have a data set but without the study ID. In total there are 289 study subjects and I want to create a variable called "studyid" for each of them like this:
studyid
id-001
id-002
...
id-289.
I have searched many files but still cannot figure out the way. Does anyone can offer me some suggestions? Thank you!
Simple example
data class;
length id $6;
set sashelp.class;
id=cat("id-",put(_n_,z3.));
run;

Thank you Chris! That works perfectly!
