Hi AnandSahu, Below is the example of finding nth highest salary from given input using Proc SQL.
data salary;
input sal;
cards;
23
12
.
45
0
54
-21
43
;
run;
%let N=3;
proc sql;
select a.sal from salary a where &N= (select count(distinct sal) from salary b where a.sal<=b.sal);
quit;

Proc Rank seems handy:
proc rank data=sashelp.class out=want(where=(rank=3)) descending ties=dense;
var age;
ranks rank;
run;

NOTE: The data set WORK.WANT has 0 observations and 6 variables.
