  Hello,

  I have several variables that I want to group by deciles.  I want to create a new variable that assigns each observation to a decile:
For instance I have two variables Va, and Vb  (id is a variable to identify the observation)  I want to create two other variables Va_decile
and Vb_decile that assigns each observation to a decile.:

An example, the input file is:

DATA groups;

   INPUT id Va  Vb ;

   DATALINES;

1 2 102

2 3.8 99

3 5.9 95.5

4 8.3 91.5

5 9.8 89

6 2.3 101.5

7 10.1 88.5

8 6.2 95

9 4.1 98.5

10 10.7 87.5

11 9.2 90

12 9.5 89.5

13 6.8 94

14 2.6 101

15 2.9 100.5

16 4.4 98

17 8.6 91

18 7.4 93

19 5.3 96.5

20 3.2 100

21 10.4 88

22 8.9 90.5

23 7.1 93.5

24 4.7 97.5

25 3.5 99.5

26 8 92

27 6.5 94.5

28 5.6 96

29 5 97

30 7.7 92.5

The output file should be something like:

id Va    Va_decile  Vb   Vb_decile

1  2       1               102          10

2  3.8    3                99              8

3 5.9 5  95.5 6

4 8.3 8  91.5 3

5 9.8 9  89 2

6 2.3 1  101.5 10

7 10.1 10  88.5 1

8 6.2 5  95 6

9 4.1 3  98.5 8

10 10.7 10  87.5 1

11 9.2 9  90 2

12 9.5 9  89.5 2

13 6.8 6  94 5

14 2.6 1  101 10

15 2.9 2  100.5 9

22 8.9 8  90.5 3

23 7.1 6  93.5 5
