hi,
I am trying to add a column to an existing table and I want al, the rows in the column to have a value 1
i used this syntax, but it didn't work;
newcolumn = 1
any help?
How about:
data want;
set sashelp.class;
retain newcolumn 1;
run;

Your suggestion sounds like it should have worked (although using RETAIN to set a default value is probably more efficient), e.g.
data mydata;
set mydata;
newcolumn = 1;
run;
or
data mydata;
set mydata;
retain newcolumn 1;
run;
Are you getting an error of some kind?
Thanks DF, your response helped me spot my error.
It is fine now.
How about:
data want;
set sashelp.class;
retain newcolumn 1;
run;
HTH,
