proc sort data=have out=temp nodupkey;
by account id;
run;
data want;
set temp;
by account;
length new_id $100; /* addapt to max length needed */
retain new_id;
if first.account then new_id = ' ';
new_id = catx(',',new_id,id);
if last.account then output;
run;
proc sort data=have out=temp nodupkey;
by account id;
run;
data want;
set temp;
by account;
length new_id $100; /* addapt to max length needed */
retain new_id;
if first.account then new_id = ' ';
new_id = catx(',',new_id,id);
if last.account then output;
run;
Alternatively
proc sort data=have out=temp nodupkey;
by account id;
run;
proc transpose data=have out=trans;
by account;
var id;
run;
data want;
set trans;
new_id=catx(',',of col:);
drop col: _name_;
run;
