Thanks so much. What if I have another new set of values (C,D,E). Can I fit both into one code? or Do I have to do it twice? So I want:

 

Value2ValueDate
CA01-Jan-18
DA01-Jan-18
EA01-Jan-18
CB01-Jan-18
DB01-Jan-18
EB01-Jan-18
CC01-Jan-18
DC01-Jan-18
EC01-Jan-18
CA02-Jan-18
DA02-Jan-18
EA02-Jan-18
CB02-Jan-18
DB02-Jan-18

Nest it like this--

 

data want;
set have;
do value='A','B','C';
 do value2='C','D','E';
output;
end;
end;
run;
Astounding
PROC Star

If your list of values (A, B, C) is long, it might be more practical to store them in a data set and use SQL:

 

proc sql;

create table want as select * from date_table, value_table

order by date value;

quit;
