Not hash object but here goes. Hash object is not a magic tool that works for everything..

data have;
	input @1 item @4 id @8 price_mark @13 price;
	datalines;
1  234 1000 400
2  234 1000 450
3  234 1000 1000

Thanks very much @hhinoha. Totally agree with you on Hash objects. I did tried that and didn't work.
