Hi,

 

I'm doing a data step scenario to show telephone_uid (tel_number in data step code) with more than 1 unique full_name. 

Screenshot 2022-03-29 234340.jpg Here is my data step code:

I need an advice on how to correct my code to show only those tel_number with more than 1 full_name associated on it.

 

Thank you.

 

Regards,

Adrian

Below code should work but is untested because you didn't provide sample data in a usable format.

proc sort 
    data=&input_dataset(keep=tel_number full_name)
    out=intermediate
    nodupkey;
  by tel_number full_name;
run;

data &output_dataset;
  set intermediate;
  by tel_number;

  if first.tel_number then name_count=1;
  else name_count+1;

  if last.tel_number and name_count>1 then
    do;
      &message=catx(' ','Telephone : ',tel_number,'Suspicious.... to', name_count,'people...');
      ....
      output;
    end;
run;

For future questions please post your data and code as text and not as screenshots. Use icons
