I am trying to find one unique observation per id. v1 ranges from 1 to -20. I am trying to output the highest and unique value possible for v1.
Very easy.
proc sort data=have;
by id v1;
run;
data want;
set have;
by id;
if last.id;
run;
Is the ID and v1 combination unique?
If so, use SQL with group by ID having max(v1) = v1.
