For the below table, I need the first combination of "A, 194 and 2" to be duplicated or repeated 23 times and the second combination to be duplicated or repeated 14 times.

This code worked on another example but failed on this one. Any help?


do _N_= 1 to Domain;

output; end;

 

Error: "Invalid DO loop control information, either the INITIAL or TO expression is missing or the BY expression is missing, zero,
or invalid."

A19448

 

Repeated 23 times...

I suspect this happens because Domain = . in one of the obs. Try this

 

data have;
input NAME $ BR_CODE BKT Domain;
datalines;
A 194 2 23 
A 194 3 14 
A 194 4 8  
A 194 4 .  
;

data want;
   set have;
   do _N_ = 1 to max(Domain, 0);
      output;
   end;
run;
