Here's a scenario:
data have;
input id x $;
cards;
1 a
2 b
3 a or b
;
run
data want;
input id x $;
cards;
1 a
2 b
3 a
3 b
;
run;
Could someone please suggest code to get 'data want' from 'data have'? Thanks.
Here is a one step solution
data have;
Infile cards missover ;
input id x $ @ ;
output ;
input @'or' x ;
If not missing(x) then output ;
cards;
1 a
2 b
3 a or b
;
run ;

data have; input id x $10.; cards; 1 a 2 b 3 a or b ; run; data want(drop=i x); set have; length y $ 10; do i=1 to countw(x); y=scan(x,i); if y ne 'or' then output; end; run;

data want(drop= i x rename=(y=x));
set have;
i=1;
do while (scan(x,i,'or ') ne ' ');
id=_n_;
y=scan(x,i,'or ');
output;
i=i+1;
end;
run;
