I want to create a code to create the column Y, whose value will be:

when ID<ID_REF, then Y=X,
when ID>=ID_REF, then Y will always have the same value, which will be the value of X when ID=ID_REF

I would do:

 

data want;
retain y;
set have;
if id <= id_ref then y = x;
output;
if id < id_ref then call missing (y);
run;
