Hi there,
I have a data set as the picture shows below. For variable R, it has a lot of missing values. What I want to do is to assign the existing value to all the previous blanks. For example, assign 1.0219 to observation 1-10 of R, and assign 0.9598 to observations 12 to 20. Finally the variable R will have 0 missing values. Any ideas?
TIA!

OK.
data have ; input a b; cards; 1 . 2 . 3 4 4 5 5 . 6 . 7 . 8 9 ; run; data want; do until(not missing(b)); set have; end; c=b; do until(not missing(b)); set have; output; end; run;
