In that case, it will not work. Even i thought the same. We can do one thing, capture the salary in macro variable and using it in the datastep.

 

data m1;
input type $ amount;
cards;
sal 10000
cheq 2000
teller 5000
;

proc sql noprint;
select amount into : amt from m1 where type='sal';
quit;

data m2;
set m1;
x=&amt.;
if amount/x > 0.20 then flag=1; else flag=0;
run;

What if Salary isn't in the first record but a later record?

Please post some more sample data and expected output. You'll need to modify it to match your data structure but it should help you get started. 

 

Proc SQL;
Create table want as
Select a.id, a.type, a.amount, case when  a.amount/b.amount >= 0.2 then 1 else 0 as flag
From have as a
Left join have as b
On a.id = b.id
And a.type ne 'Salary' and b.type. = 'Salary';
Quit;

You our can merge data with itself via SQL and then do calculation.

Hi Reeza

 

thanks for the clarity.

 

i see that your code joins two tables. how will the code be if the data is contained in one table. like in my sample code provided. how can i compare first value of 'Salary' to other values?

Take a closer look at the code. It joins the table Have to itself, Have.
