Hello everyone this is what I am dealing with.
I have three variables Syphilis Gonorrhea chlamydia (dichotomous) in dataset called "combined_dataset." I want to combined those variables to create a new variable "STIs" based on premise of 'N' and 'Y'. However, when I input the code (see below), the numbers are not adding up for the variable 'STIs' for 'Y' observations (should be n=1193). Can someone help?
data combined_dataset; set combined_dataset; length STIs $1; if Syphilis = "Y" or Gonorrhea = "Y" or Chlamydia = "Y" then STIs = "Y"; else combined_variable = "N"; run;
I fail to understand your explanation, I apologize can you clarify your answer?
Ooooh. That is right. Duh! Thank you for the explanation. I need my cup of coffee.
