Hello ,

I want to create data "B" from data "A". That is , I want to keep only data with at least two time points;

 

Data a,
Input id timepoint;
Cards;
001     1
001     2
001     3
002    1
003    1
003    2
004    1
005    1
;
 
Run;

 

 

 Data "B" is created from data "A". id 002 , 004 and 005 are dropped because they are just one time points.

 

 

Data B;
Input id timepoint;
Cards;
 
001     1
001     2
001     3
 
003    1
003    2
;
run;

You can use the NOUNIQUEKEY option on PROC SORT.

 

proc sort
     data = sashelp.adomsg
          out = duplicates
          uniqueout = singles
          nouniquekey;
     by msgid;
run;
