Hello all,
I have data that is structured as below for example. I want to create the injury indicator based on the interval_start and interval_end dates. The indicator should be 0 until the first injury is experienced within the interval dates, at which point it should be 1. The indicator will remain 1 for those without a second injury and needs to change to 2 once the second injury occurs within the interval dates and remain 2 for the rest of the records with that id.
id injury_date1 Injury_date2 interval_start interval_end injury_indicator

I have tried to accomplish this through a series of data steps with no success. Any help provided would be most appreciated!
This should work:
data WANT;
set HAVE ;
by ID;
if first. ID then INJURY_INDICATOR=0;
if INTERVAL_START <= INJURY_DATE1 <= INTERVAL_END
| INTERVAL_START <= INJURY_DATE2 <= INTERVAL_END then INJURY_INDICATOR+1;
run;
Please check the examples you provide. You seem to have mixed 2008 and 2009. Spend more time checking to save our time.

My apologies, I meant to change those to 2009. Thank you for your help!
