Generally, creating your own dummy variables is unnecessary as most SAS modelling procedures handle character variables via the CLASS statement, and then the procedure creates the dummy variables so you don't have to
I am using the dummies for sum but great to know that SAS will handle the problem.
PROC FREQ will tell you how many times each one appears.
