I have a dataset;
proc sql;
create table test as
select cat_desc
from test1;
quit;
output is
cat_desc
Eastern Region
Western Region
North
South
Eastern Region
Western Region
South
I need to assign an Id to the variables
data have;
input cat_id 1 cat_desc $2-20;
datalines;
1 Eastern Region
2 Western Region
3 North
4 South
;
run;
How can I add the cat_id in data have and apply it to the initial dataset?
hello,
Can you tell me that in your data 'have' what you have shown in datalines is your desired output or you want to display regions eg. eastern region by 1?(just for display : Go for Proc Format).
For example if proc sql you see cat_desc Eastern Region. However it has not cat_id. Now look in data have. I have replicated the cat_des and have added the cat_id. I need to assign cat_id to cat_desc so I can use the original proc sql datastep in a program to manipulate the variables
