Using a SAS data step would be much easier. Does it need to be a SQL? And if yes: why?

try something like the following;

data want;

set have;

length new_var $256.;

retain new_var;

by client_id;

if first.client_id then new_var=var;

else new_var=catx(',', new_var, var);

if last.client_id then output;

run;

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

The code is very good for my purpose although it has got some data type issue with PUT function.
