Hi SAS Community,

 

 

I need in your help in the below regard.

 

I have a data set like this:-

IDStartDate
19-May-12
110-May-12
110-May-12
130-May-12
130-Jun-12
  
217-May-12
230-May-12
231-May-12
226-Jun-12
  
326-Jun-12
329-Jun-12
327-Jul-12
325-Aug-12

 

 


And want an output like this:- 

IDStartDateLine
19-May-121
110-May-121
110-May-121
130-May-122
   
217-May-121
230-May-121
231-May-121
226-Jun-122
   
326-Jun-121
329-Jun-121
327-Jul-122
325-Aug-123

 

Basically, The logic is that if there is a gap of more than 20 between the dates by ID then the Line variable should increase by 1.

 

Thank you for your time and I appreciate your help.

 

Regards,

SC.
