I found this code in a previous post but don't know how to apply it:
%macro process(variable);
retain help_&variable;
if not missing(&variable)
then _&variable = &variable;
else &variable = _&variable;
drop _&variable;
%mend;
data want;
set have;
%process(sex)
%process(country)
%process(period)
run;
UNTESTED CODE
data want;
set have;
retain session1;
if not missing(session) then session1=session;
run;
UNTESTED CODE
data want;
set have;
retain session1;
if not missing(session) then session1=session;
run;
