Dear all

I have an employee table where they belong to different departments. I need to hike the salaries of employee from dept A, B, and C by 10,20 and 30 % respectively using do  loops. Now the question is how do I do it?

Regards

Mohammed Shareef

You should probably post a few records of example input data and what the result should look like.

Depending on you data structure there are likely quite different approaches possible.

I need a new variable called newsal which should be created using do loop for 3 years with 10,20 and 30 % for dept 10,20 and 30respectively.

Thanks

I have created newsal for 3 years using do loop

(newsal1 = sal * 1.1;  newsal2 = newsal1*1.1;  newsal3 = newsal2 * 1.1;)

Here is the code...

data want;                                            

set have;                                            

  array newsal(3) newsal1-newsal3;                    

  do i=1 to 3 by 1;                                   

     select (deptno);                                 

        when (10)                                     

                 do;                                  

                    if i=1 then newsal(i) = sal * 1.1;

                    else newsal(i) = newsal(i-1) * 1.1;

                 end;                                 

        when (20)                                     

                 do;                                  

                    if i=1 then newsal(i) = sal * 1.2;

                    else newsal(i) = newsal(i-1) * 1.2;

                 end;                                 

        when (30)                                     

                 do;                                  

                    if i=1 then newsal(i) = sal * 1.3;

                    else newsal(i) = newsal(i-1) * 1.3;

                 end;                                 

        otherwise put 'wrong deptno';                 

     end;                                             

  end;

You can simplify your code by simply adding sal to the array:

data want (drop=i);

  set have;

  array newsal{4} sal newsal1-newsal3;

  do i=2 to 4;

    newsal{i}=newsal{i-1} * (1.0 + (deptno / 100));

  end;

run;
