Hi
I am trying to concatenate multiple columns bases on condition. Data is as follows.
CRN | Diff | Pay1 | Pay2 | Pay3 | Pay4 | Pay5 | Pay6 | Pay7 | Pay8 | Pay9 | Pay10 |
1 | 1 | 000 | 084 | 084 | 084 | 000 | XXX | 000 | XXX | XXX | XXX |
2 | 10 | 065 | 000 | 000 | 000 | 000 | XXX | XXX | XXX | XXX | XXX |
3 | -1 | 000 | XXX | XXX | XXX | XXX | XXX | XXX | XXX | XXX | XXX |
4 | 3 | XXX | 000 | 000 | 000 | 000 | 000 | 000 | 000 | 000 | 000 |
5 | -2 | 070 | 070 | 070 | 070 | 070 | 070 | 070 | XXX | XXX | XXX |
6 | 1 | 090 | XXX | XXX | XXX | XXX | XXX | XXX | XXX | XXX | XXX |
The code I am using is as follows.
data temp;
set temp;
format hist $200.;
array col(*) Pay1-Pay10;
if diff=-1 then hist=catx('',col(2-10));
else if diff=-2 then hist=catx('',col(3-10));
else hist=catx('',col(*));
run;
I want concatenate column based on diff=-1 , -2 etc and concat corresponding columns.
The error I am getting is "array subscript out of range". Please help.
This is a great example of why you should look at the SAS documentation first. The documentation of the CATX function gives the proper syntax for your case.
