I am having issues associating the characters within the datalines to the do variable 'time'. can anyone assist me with that?
data new;
do time=1 to 4;
input m1-m3 @;
output;
end;
datalines;
na 4 56
bo 2 45
so 4 30
zd 1 55
;
run;
Create and apply either a format or informat.
You have to provide more info. Are you just trying to do something like:
proc format;
invalue mtime
'na'=1
'bo'=2
'so'=3
'zd'=4
;
run;
data new;
informat time mtime.;
input time m2-m3;
datalines;
na 4 56
bo 2 45
so 4 30
zd 1 55
;
run;
Not sure what you're question is, but the following will do what I think your code was trying to do:
data new;
format time best32.;
informat m1 $2.;
input m1-m3;
time=_n_;
datalines;
na 4 56
bo 2 45
so 4 30
zd 1 55
;
I am trying to associate the characters in the first column with the 1-4 in the do "time" variable. i want to read the read the na as 1, bo as 2.
