I have a dataset with ID, the date of their procedure, and the procedure name.  Here's what it looks like:

 

ID     Date            procedure

1      1/1/2010          A

2      1/2/2010          A

2      1/2/2010          B

3      1/3/2010          A

3      1/3/2010          B

3      1/3/2010          C

 

 

I would like to have just one row per encounter. So if they have the same ID and date, they should be in the same row. So here is what I want the data to look like:

 

ID     Date            Procedure1     Procedure2     Procedure 3

1     1/1/2010               A                    .                        .

2     1/2/2010               A                    B                       .

3     1/3/2010               A                    B                       C

 

How can I make that happen? 

 

(Using SAS 9.4)
