Hope this works for the above problem.

data want;

set have;

if _N_=1 then id=101;

else id+1;

run;

Thanks,

Would it be a good idea to make the ID character?  It might help to indicate the purpose and prevent it from being used as a measure.

Don't understand why would you do that.

data have;

set have;

retain n 100;

n+1;

run;
