I can't figure out why not. Any suggestions? The output has missing data for all DBP values. All the other variable data points display correctly.

Assign length as opposed to format to override the execution pattern of taking the length of Low rather than a higher length

 

Data new_vitals ;
    set vitals ;
	length SBPGroup PulseGroup $8;/*correction*/
    If Not Missing(Age) And Age lt 50 then do ;
        If Pulse lt 70 then PulseGroup = 'Low' ;
        else PulseGroup = 'High' ;
        If SBP lt 130 then SBPGroup = 'Low' ;
        else SBPgroup = 'High' ;
    End ;  
    If Not Missing(Age) And Age ge 50 then do ;
        If Pulse lt 74 then PulseGroup = 'Low' ;
        else PulseGroup = 'High' ;
        If SBP lt 140 then SBPGroup = 'Low' ;
        else SBPgroup = 'High' ;
    End ;
/*    format PulseGroup $8. SBPGroup $8. ;*/

a small correction in your label statement

Data vitals ;
    input ID    :   $3.
          Age   :   2.
          Pulse :   3.
          SBP   :   3.
          DBP   :   3. ;
    label SBP = "Systolic Blood Pressure" 
          DBP = "Diastolic Blood Pressure" ;

Or if you want you can kick it to another statement entirely just for fun.

Great. I didn't see that  I had put a semicolon after SBP.

 

There is one other thing that is still bothering me... even when making the format for SBP group $8., 'high' is getting cut off to 'hig'. Why is that? Thanks. And, then I will certainly accept as solution.
