My data looks like below without the flag, I want to create a flag that has the value of 1 when B> A (0 when reverse is true)and it should be missing when either A or B has a missing value.

 

A      BFlag
.       65.
.      12.
626  50
20   ..
.       23.
10251

 

I have tried this;

data X;
set Y;
if (A ne .) or (B ne .) and B >A then flag=1;

else flag=0;
run;

 

and didn't work. 

 

Please help!
