I have the data as follows and I need to convert per the desired output. If the claim is having identifier as 1 and 4 then I need to convert it to 0 which means converting duplicate claim into distinct claim.

Input data:

Claim identifier
001 1
001 4

Desired output:

Claim Identifier
001 0

Here is a datastep solution:

data have;
input claim $ id;
cards;
001 1
001 2 
001 4
002 1
002 3 
002 5
;run;

data want;
  set 
    have(where=(id not in(1,4)))
    have(where=(id=1) in=in1)
    have(where=(id=4) in=in4)
    ;
  by claim;
  if in1 and not last.claim then
    id=0;
  if in4 and lag(id)=0 then
    delete;
run;

You may want to sort by claim and id afterwards, as the zeros, ones and fours are now last in the output.
