Why is the first row 101 - 102 but the 4/5 is 104-104 not 104-110?

A quick and dirty solution:

data have;

     input @1 number @11 model $2.;

     cards;

100000001 XX

100000002 XX

100000003 YY

100000004 XX

100000010 XX

100000011 YY

100000012 XX

100000101 XX

100000102 XX

100000103 YY

100000104 YY

100000105 XX

100000106 XX

100000107 XX

100000108 XX

;

run;

data have1;

     set have;

     if model ne lag(model) or dif(number)>1 then

           grp+1;

run;

data want;

     do count=1 by 1 until (last.grp);

          set have1;

           by model grp notsorted;

           if first.grp then

                first=number;

           if last.grp then

                last=number;

     end;

run;
