Hi,
How can I replace following PROC SQL code using data step code?
PROC SQL;
select division, category, sum(salary) as total_salary from tbl_salary
group by division, category;
quit;
Thanks!

Julia,
It takes a lot less code with proc sql but, since you asked, I think that the following will do the same thing. I added an extra field, namely employee_id (emp_id) to indicate that you would have to drop any additional fields if you want the output to be the same.
proc sort data=tbl_salary;
by division category;
run;
data divsalary;
set tbl_salary (drop=em_id);
by division category;
if first.category then total_salary =0;
total_salary+salary;
if last.category then output;
run;
proc print data=divsalary;
run;

Much appreciated.
