I have several variables, let's say V1 to V3, each of them containing values of 1 or 0.
How to write a statement for an array of these variables, so that a new variable (e.g., V4) will receive value of 1 if any among V1-V3 is 1; and 0 otherwise (i.e., all among V1-V3 are 0s)?
data want;
set have;
if sum(of v1-v3)>0 then v4=1;
else v4=0;
run;
v4= max(of v1-v3);
would also work.
What would you want if all of v1 - v3 are missing though?
