Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if someone might know how to do this because unfortunately I do not have an example to go from in my notes.

What I have is a dataset with a bunch of Customer IDs and their countries which I need to turn into something that looks like this:

            Customer              Customer

            Country               List

ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ

            AU                    29, 41, 53, 111, 171, 183, 195, 215


If there is anyone out there who would know how to use hash objects to concatenate a list like this together, it would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks!


Alisa

Hi,

I don't why you have to use hash(), since there are better and established approaches out there without involving hash(), but I guess it is the special requirement of your homework. Try this:

data have;

input country$ id$;

cards;

au 1

au 2

usa 3

usa 4

usa 5

;

data want (keep=country new_id);

length new_id $50.;

  if _n_=1 then do;

  set have(obs=1);

  dcl hash h1(dataset:'have', multidata:'y');

h1.definekey('country');

h1.definedata(all:'y');

h1.definedone();

  dcl hash h2(dataset:'have');

h2.definekey('country');

h2.definedone(); 

dcl hiter h2i('h2');

  _rc=h2i.first();

end;

do while (_rc=0);

  do _rc=h1.find() by 0 while (_rc=0);

  new_id=catx(',',new_id,id);

_rc=h1.find_next(); 

  end;

  output;

  call missing (new_id);

  _rc=h2i.next();

  end;

  run;

Hi Hai.kuo,

So I have adapted your script into what I need, but it still isn't quite working.

Could you let me know where I am going wrong?

data customer_list (keep=Country All_Customers);

length All_Customers $200.;

  if _n_=1 then do;

  dcl hash h1(dataset:'orion.customer', multidata:'y');

     h1.definekey('Country');

     h1.definedata('Customer_ID');

     h1.definedone();

  dcl hash h2(dataset:'orion.customer');

     h2.definekey('Country');

     h2.definedone();

dcl hiter h2i('h2');

  _rc=h2i.first();

end;

do while (_rc=0);

  do _rc=h1.find() by 0 while (_rc=0);

  new_id=catx(',',All_Customers,Customer_ID);

_rc=h1.find_next();

  end;

  output;

  call missing (All_Customers, Customer_ID);

  _rc=h2i.next();

  end;

    set orion.customer /*(obs=1)*/;

  run;

proc print data=customer_list;

run;

My log looks normal:

NOTE: There were 77 observations read from the data set ORION.CUSTOMER.

NOTE: There were 77 observations read from the data set ORION.CUSTOMER.

NOTE: There were 77 observations read from the data set ORION.CUSTOMER.

NOTE: The data set WORK.CUSTOMER_LIST has 7 observations and 2 variables.

NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):

      real time           0.06 seconds

      cpu time            0.04 seconds
