Hi, there.

 

I have big data(exactly 2,770,880 rows and more than 200 columns).

I want to make column name member with each rows number.

The result will be

 

     column A        column B       ......       member

1.   245                    250                              1

2.   250                   255                               2

3.    255                   260                              3

4.    260                   270                              4

        ...                     ...                                 ...

 

 

Any help and tips will be much appreciated!

Thanks, Jamie.

_n_ is an automatic variable that you get in a data step that counts up everytime the data step jumps from the end to the top of the code.

This can be used to create a unique ascending number, as you wanted.
