Hi,

My dataset has data second by second observations. For example:

Firm           Year         Month         Day         Hour        Minute          Second

abc             2010           1                1              9               30                0

abc             2010           1                 1             9               30                1

:

:

abc            2012            12               31           16              0                 0

:

:

xyz              2008            4                6             11             30               1

:

:

xyz               2012          11                5            15              40              10

 

I would like to keep all observations in the first month (or in the first day) of a firm. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

First thing I'd do is to create a SAS Datetime value out of all these variables. Once done, sort the data by firm and datetime, retain the very first record and then use a SAS calendar function to determine which dates are within the selection range.

data have;
  input Firm $ Year Month Day Hour Minute Second;
  datalines;
abc 2010 1 1 9 30 0
abc 2010 1 1 9 30 1
abc 2012 12 31 16 0 0
;
run;

data inter;
  set have;
  format record_dttm datetime21.;
  record_dttm=dhms(mdy(month,day,year),hour,minute,second);
  drop Year Month Day Hour Minute Second;
run;

proc sort data=inter out=want;
  by Firm record_dttm;
run;

data want(drop=_:);
  set want;
  by firm record_dttm;

  if first.firm then _r_record_dttm=record_dttm;
  retain _r_record_dttm;

  if intck('dtday',_r_record_dttm,record_dttm)=0;
/*  if intck('dtweek',_r_record_dttm,record_dttm)=0;*/
/*  if intck('dtmonth',_r_record_dttm,record_dttm)=0;*/

run;

Thank you. Your code works. Using your code, I get the observations for each firm in the first day. Now I have return data for each observation. I would like cumulate those returns by time for each firm. Fir example:

 

Firm         Return       record_dttm

abc           0.2            05FEB2004:10:55:00

abc           0.1            05FEB2004:10:56:00

:

:

xyz            0.15          07SEP2005:11:05:00

 

So there will be a new variable of cumulative return. For firm abc, first cumulative return will be 0.2, second cumulative return will be 0.3 and so on.

Not working. You will be appreciated if you write the code. Thanks.
