I need help with the following accomplishing the task below based on the following criteria:

1) if B_value='C' then sub_value=value

2)  if B-value not equal  'C', assign sub_value based on the following. If they have a common C-ID, assign the value of (B_value ='C' and start code='O' and living_code='A') to the other. For instance, in the first 4 data observation with a C_ID of 1, the sub_value for B11, C11 and D11 will be A11.

3) Do not assign (B-value ='C' and start_code='O' and living_code='D') to dependent values sharing the same C-ID. Instead use the value of B-value=C and start-code=S and living_code =A. For instance, where C-ID=3, the sub values of the other B-value=D, will

be B33

I'll prefer the data set method as supposed to proc sql but I'm okay with either approach

Thanks

What do mean by "share the same C-ID"? Are you matching the data set agains other rows in the same data set? If so, which ones?

Take a look at the 4 observation below. They all have a C-ID value of 1. That's what i mean by "share the same C-ID

B_value   C_ID    Stat_code    Living_code    value      sub_value

C              1         O               A                  A11

D                     z                A                 B11

D                    z                A                 C11

D                     z                A                 D11
