Help with SAS procedure, data from columns to rows

[SASbeginner20]

An example of my data currently looks like this. A person can have an unspecified number of locations, as 1002 has 6 locations, 1004 has 4 locations, and 1005 has 2 locations. Others not shown here have even more than 6 locations.

id	location
1002	a
1002	b
1002	c
1002	d
1002	e
1002	f
1004	a
1004	b
1004	c
1004	d
1005	a
1005	b

How would I convert the data to look this below? I want each person to only have one row and fill in a column for location 1 to location 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 to 6 to 7, etc..

id	location1	location2	location3	location4	location5	location6
1002	a	b	c	d	e	f
1004	a	b	c	d
1005	a	b

Thanks!

Try this:

proc sort data=have; by id location; run;

data have0 / view=have0;

set have; by id;

if first.id then var=0;

var + 1;

run;

proc transpose data=have0 out=want(drop=_name_) prefix=location;

by id;

var location;

id var;

run;
