Technically, the DO UNTIL loop executes at least once even if the original value of PRICE is 600000 instead of 100000.  To get a DO WHILE loop to produce the same outcome, you need to allow for that fact.  So:

 

data hadoopdata;
price=100000;
year+1;
price = price * 1.1;
do while (price le 500000);
  year + 1;
  price = price * 1.1;
end;
run;

If you want to translate this to a do-while loop, then you could try:

 

data hadoopdata;
   price =100000;
   do while(price le 500000);
      year+1;
      price+(price*.10);
   end;
run;

Would you please be kind enough to explain your question in more detail? It's not really clear what you are asking.
