I am trying to figure out a way to print out all observations after a certain number of units has been reached. As an example:
Row Member Units Date
1 A 4 1/1/2015
2 B 3 1/1/2015
3 A 3 1/5/2015
4 A 3 1/6/2015
5 B 8 1/8/2015
6 A 6 1/11/2015
For this example, I would like all rows/observations printed out once a unique member has reached over 10 units. Dates have been sorted because the interest is in how many observations and types of observations there are after 10 units has been reached. .
So the output should be:
Row Member Units Date
1 A 6 1/11/2015
2 B 8 1/8/2015
Any help in figuring out how to determine the output would be appreciated!
As an aside, I am able to determine the total number of units and number of members > 10 units with:
proc sql ;
select member, sum(units) as totalunits ;
from data
group member
having totalunits > 10 ;
run ;
data have; input Row Member $ Units Date : $20.; cards; 1 A 4 1/1/2015 2 B 3 1/1/2015 3 A 3 1/5/2015 4 A 3 1/6/2015 5 B 8 1/8/2015 6 A 6 1/11/2015 ; run; data want; set have; if _n_ eq 1 then do; declare hash h(); h.definekey('Member'); h.definedata('Sum','found'); h.definedone(); end; sum=.;found=.; rc=h.find(); sum+units; h.replace(); if sum gt 10 and not found then do;found=1;h.replace();output;end; drop rc sum; run;

Obviously Xia's solution is the optimal one, you can also choose 1. a sort by member and date, then a data step. 2. a proc sql like the following:
data have;
input Row Member $ Units Date : mmddyy10.;
format Date : mmddyy10.;
cards;
1 A 4 1/1/2015
2 B 3 1/1/2015
3 A 3 1/5/2015
4 A 3 1/6/2015
5 B 8 1/8/2015
6 A 6 1/11/2015
;
run;
proc sql;
create table want as
select *,(select sum(units) from have where member=a.member and date <=a.date) as sum_units
from have a
where calculated sum_units >10;
quit;
