I am fairly new to proc sql and would like to know if there is a way to create two variables at the same time in the same line.
Below is an example of what I am trying to achieve. It's a simplified version of my code (which would bring in a number of different datasets).
I would like to create the variables trtsta and trtsdt to be the same, in a neat way.
proc sql;
create table data_test as
select catx(" ", a.trt, max(a.dose), a.dosu) as trtsta /*and trtsdt*/
from dataset1 as a
order trtsta;
quit;
I know I can do this by the below code, but I wondered if there was a smarter way of doing it?
proc sql;
create table data_test as
select catx(" ", a.trt, max(a.dose), a.dosu) as trtsta,
catx(" ", a.trt, max(a.dose), a.dosu) as trtsdt
from dataset1 as a
order trtsta;
quit;
Thanks for any ideas!
