I have only 1 record in my dataset and I want to copy that record and get the same in the second record.

for example

data have;

x="Micro soft"

run;

 

expected output

     

       x

Micro soft

Micro Soft 

 

 

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if this meets your actual needs, but you can control how many times an observation is written to your data set with the Output Statement like this.

 

data have;
x="Micro soft";
output;
output;
run;

proc print data=have;
run;

Yes, this gives you the same

 

data have;
x="Micro soft";
do i=1 to 2;
   output;
end;
run;

proc print data=have;
run;
