I am counting number of subjects of screened and screen failure and need to condition them based on condition

proc sql;
    create table scrnd as
     select count(SUBJID) as screened

     where term="SCREENED" from subjd;

     

      create table scrfail as
     select count(SUBJID) as scrnfail

     where term="SCRNFAIL" from subjd;

quit;

 

Is there any precise way to do only in one create statement to get rid of set later?

I am making a table of various counts of patients and wondering if there is any smarter way in doing in single create statement

Use proc freq for that:

data have;
input subjid term $;
cards;
1 SCREENED
2 SCREENED
3 SCRNFAIL
4 SCREENED
5 SCRNFAIL
;
run;

proc freq data=have;
tables term / out=want;
run;

There are numerous options, as @Kurt_Bremser proc freq is the simplest.  You could also use union:

proc sql;
    create table scrnd as
    select count(SUBJID) as screened  
    from subjd
    where term="SCREENED"
    union all
    select count(SUBJID) as scrnfail
    from subjd
    where term="SCRNFAIL"; 
quit;

Or use a datastep and retain counts.  To be honest your question is pretty vague.
