How to insert a row/observation within a table?

And by the meantime, I also filled the whole table with observations for the whole time span. 

Say, in the example, for each ID, I want to creat the state for every time (1 2 3 4 5 6 7). If there is a new state, just follow it. If there is no new state, follow the last state observed.

 

 

I have searched some codes, but they all add new rows to the end of the table. Thanks you for your help in advance.

 

 

 

data have;

input ID $ time $ state;

cards;

a 1 23

a 5 25

b 1 65

b 2 33

b 7 28

c 2 13

;

run;

 

 

So the data output I get in mind is that:

 

a 1 23

a 2 23

a 3 23

a 4 23

a 5 25

a 6 25

a 7 25

b 1 65

b 2 33

b 3 33

b 4 33

b 5 33

b 6 33

b 7 28

c 1 .(no state observed yet)

c 2 13

c 3 13

c 4 13

c 5 13

c 6 13

c 7 13

Your first issue is the missing levels - which is a commonly asked question.

Does your data have an observation for every level at some point? If so, Proc Freq with SPARSE option can help you build your table.

 

The second will have to do with retaining previous values which you can do in a data step.
