data want;

set have;

if a = b then c = a;

else d = b;

run;

If I understand your request, you can get the list of cases where b is missing as a dataset with:

data want;

set have; where b is missing;

keep a;

run;

If you just want to print the cases:

proc print data=have(where=(b is missing)); var a; run;
