Hi Everyone,

I have a data with variable nameID as below.

I want to create separate file for each name.

Then export each file into CSV.

There are thousand names and I haven't found a way to do it yet.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Write the code manually for one file, or use proc import and get the code.

Then change it to use the FILEVAR option in a data _null_ step.
