I want to make new variable(idnum3) from this dataset.
How could I make 'idnum3' 1 to 20 using last observation of 'idnum1' add to 'idnum2'.
If you have any idea please tell me.
thank you.
data have;
input var1 $;
i=index(var1,'r');
if i=1 then idnum1=input(compress(var1, ' ', 'A'), 5.) ;
if i=2 then idnum2=input(compress(var1, ' ', 'A'), 5.) ;

select max(idnum1) into :max from have;
quit;
data want;
set have;
idnum3=sum(&max,idnum2);
run;
Assuming that the portion of code that you posted is working as intended, you could add to the same DATA step:
retain last_idnum1;
if idnum1 > . then do;
idnum3 = idnum1;
last_idnum1 = idnum1;
end;
else idnum3 = sum(last_idnum1, idnum2);
Good luck.
And if you want a simple row counter, assuming you may have more data
add
idnum3 = _n_; to the same data step.
