Hi all,

I have a data set with 2 observations per person, in long format, and I want to select people of a certain age at T1 and a certain place of residence at T1, plus their T2 record, where residence may have changed. I can figure out how to select all the T1 records I want, but not the associated T2 record – any help would be much appreciated!

Once you have the T1 records, you can use a SQL step to get all records from the original table.
Assuming your source data is called HAVE and the table with records selected is called T1_Selected you can do the following:

proc sql;
create table want as
select *
from have
where ID in (select ID from T1_Selected);
quit;

Another very basic question - how do I create the first table?

And, each participant is identified by both a personal ID and a household ID.

Thank you!

"how do I create the first table?"

The "have" table? So you don't have your table already in SAS? In what format is your source data (excel, csv,...?). What SAS client are you using (SAS EG, SAS Studio?)

 

"And, each participant is identified by both a personal ID and a household ID."

The data you posted looks like a person is fully identified by "personal ID". "household ID" appears to be what it says: Grouping persons together into households.
