proc report issue

[A_B_C]

I have data in following format
Patno cycle visit date_visit
1 scr 0 010108
1 c1 1 010208
1 c1 2 010308
1 c2 3 010408
1 c2 4 010508
1 c3 5 010608
1 c3 6 010708
under each cycle, except screening, there are two visits...

I just want a report in the following format..
Patient Scr c1 c2 c3
number 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
1 010108 010208 010308 010408 010508 010608 010708
.................
...........
it would be greatly helpful if some body can help me...Thank you

Hi:
You'll probably need to transform your data from long, skinny data into one observation per patient with the date variables appearing as numbered variables. This is a good job for either PROC TRANSPOSE (or a DATA step program) -- but PROC TRANSPOSE probably lends itself to this kind of data.

If you ran PROC TRANSPOSE, as shown in the program below, then your PROC REPORT (or PROC PRINT) program would be fairly simple, since COL1 would always be the SCR date and COL2-COL7 would be the 6 visit dates. (I had to make some data, so your version of the program would start with the PROC TRANSPOSE step and not with the first DATA step.)

** first, make some test data;

input patno cycle $ visit date_visit : mmddyy6.;

** now, transpose the visit data;
** since the visits follow a regular patter, just transpose date_visit;
proc transpose data=visit out=visit_out;
by patno;
