Need to eliminate repetative data from the file

[Shah]

Dear All,

I am using SAS data management studio 9.4 version, it is frontend interface where in there are only options of drag & drop and also to write few expressions.

I am in this sitution where the data is repeated and i need to eliminate them from the file. I have tried using clusters by grouping the primary key but getting stuck in the next condition. Please suggest me the appropriate solution, provided below the data.

Required : if roll no = 123A then remove the roll no, i.e. 0012 and 0064 has 123A area so the whole 0012 and 0064 should be removed from the data. The output should only consist of 12345 roll no

Input
Roll No	Name	Area
0012	KKKKK	123A
0012	KKKKK	3333
0012	KKKKK	7869
0012	KKKKK	7777
0012	KKKKK	913B
12345	LLLLL	7869
12345	LLLLL	123A
12345	LLLLL	3333
0064	MMMM	7869
0064	MMMM	7869
0064	MMMM	3333
0064	MMMM	123A
0064	MMMM	7869
0064	MMMM	6666
0064	MMMM	913B

Output
Roll No	Name	Area
12345	LLLLL	7869
12345	LLLLL	123A
12345	LLLLL	3333

quit;

data want;
set test;
by area roll_no;
if last.area;
run;

Dear Jag,

I use parts supplied by dataflux, it is frontend tool where there are data source node which is used to import the input files and data validation node and expression node is used to draw the conditions. So I cannot write the coding what you have provided. Please suggest short condition which will help me to reach the output. Also note that my data is dynamic, the area will keep changing and the roll no's will increase based on the requirement. The data provided was just a sample of my input.

Shaheen

Dear Patrick,

Sorry for posting the query twice, i had a confusion to choose the forum, SAS studio and Data Management. Please ignore.

Thank you.
