Hi, I'd like to add new variable to the existing dataset. Below attempt didn't work. I'll appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

datalines;

set data;

Here's a modified version of your code that should work as you intended:
data data1;
set data;
input risk;
datalines;
0
0.0025
0.005
0.025
0.05
0.1
0.25
0.5
0.75
;
Two of the primary problems with your code were the orientation of the datalines data (if you want each value to be attached to a different observation, it needs to go on a new line) and the missing semi-colon after the datalines data was complete. The DATALINES statement is also intended to be used as the very last part of a data step.
