results:

a b c d
1 2 6 .
2 3 8 .
3 5 9 .
4 6 2 .

Here we have d which is not having a blank value. Now I want to add some dummy values into the 'd' sas field after this step.
and results should look like given below. Please help me on this.


Dummy values are:
5
6
7
8

results should looks like.

a b c d
1 2 6 5
2 3 8 6
3 5 9 7
4 6 2 8

To suggest any datasource other than datalines/cards you have to explain where the dummy-values come from.

 

Using output-statement is always possible ...

 

data Dummy;
  Dummy = 5; output;
  Dummy = 6; output;
/* ... */
;
run;

Hi, 

 

Like (Note the use of indentation, and finishing a datastep/procedure correctly with run; or quit;) - code can be placed in posts using the {i} in the toolbar.

data abhi;
  input a b c d;
  d=_n_+4;
datalines;
1 2 6 .
2 3 8 .
3 5 9 .
4 6 2 .
5 8 1 .
;
run;
