I am trying to find: for each same rownum, if check=1 and is the only 1 for that rownum, then output =1, otherwise output =0.

Here below is a data example:

Data have

rownumcheck
60.66667
60.81818
70.5
71
70.75
80.5
80.75
281
281

 

Data want:

rownumcheckoutput
60.666670
60.818180
70.50
711
70.750
80.50
80.750
2810
2810

 

Please let me know how to get the desired output, thanks!

If the data are sorted by rownum:

 

data want (drop=n_ones);
  set have (where=(check=1) in=hasones)
      have (in=inall);
  by rownum;
  if first.rownum then n_ones=0;
  n_ones+hasones;
  if inall;
  output=(check=1 and n_ones=1);
run;

 

For each rownum this data step (1) reads and counts all instances of check=1, (2) reads all records (including re-reading the check=1 recs) for the rownum.  It only keeps records from the second group, but at that point it is possible to retrieve the count of ones and set the output variable.

--------------------------
The hash OUTPUT method will overwrite a SAS data set, but not append. That can be costly. Consider voting for Add a HASH object method which would append a hash object to an existing SAS data set

Would enabling PROC SORT to simultaneously output multiple datasets be useful? Then vote for
Allow PROC SORT to output multiple datasets
