I'm looking for a way to create a unique Identifier that will account for duplicates of a client based on an old client ID. Please see below.
I tried a do loop but it just hung up on me. Does anyone know code for this. Thanks.
Old _ClientID NewID
564 1
345 2
367 3
321 4
111 5
data want;
set have;
by old_clientid;
if first.old_clientid then NewID+!;
run;
