Hello SAS programmers,

I have the following data. Looking to count forward 12 months from birthdt (anchor date). If baby is enrolled 9 of 12 months in that first year of life, then ceyr1flag=1 (else flag is 0). Count forward another 12 months (this is year 2 of life now). If baby enrolled 9 of 12 months, then ceyr2flag=1 (else 0). While I only provide 2 years of data below to keep this post a reasonable length, I'm looking to do this through the first 5 years of life. Would have 5 flags (i.e. ceyr1flag--ceyr5flag). 

Can someone help me with some code? Thank you very much! If you would like 5 years of data for each ID, I'm happy to provide.

data have;
input ID birthdt MONYY7. year month $ enrolled;
format birthdt MONYY7.;

You would make your life easier if your months were numbers 1 through 12 rather than character strings.

 

Step 1 — compute year of life

data have;
input ID birthdt MONYY7. year month $ enrolled;
currmonth=input(cats('01',month,year),date9.);
year_of_life=intck('year',birthdt,currmonth,'c');
format birthdt monyy7.;
datalines; /* I have left the data out here, just because it is long and no need to repeat it */
;
run;

Step 2 — add up all the 1s and 0s under enrollment for each year of life

proc summary data=have nway;
    class id year_of_life;
    var enrolled;
    output out=sums sum=sum_enrolled;
run;

 

Step 3 — if the sum of the enrolled is 9 or more, you get the year flag=1, else 0 — I leave this up to you as a homework assignment. I will say that I strongly recommend that you leave the data in the long form as outputted from PROC SUMMARY, with one more variable if the sum of enrolled is 9 or more; rather than creating 5 new variables ceyr1flag,ceyr2flag, etc. which is a lot more programming to create, and a lot more programming to use.
