There are duplicate identifiers in my dataset.  Regardless, each has a different area code.  I need to flag where the same id appears under a different area code.  I'm sure there's a straightforward solution, just not sure what it is.  Can anyone help?  Thanks in advance.

Thank you, I figured it would be a proc sql.  But, where can I insert a command for a separate column (e.g., diff_area_code_flag = 1)?
