Hi,

I am using do loops to create table shells but it is create extra rows I do not need.

data shell;
	 do ord1= 1 to 5;  												/*params*/
		do ord2= 2 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,8 ,9 ,12 ,13 ,14 ,15 ,16 ,17 ,18 ,19;  /*avisitn*/
			do ord3= 0 to 6;										/*summary statistics*/
			output;
			end;
		end;
	 end;
run;

Could you clarify--do you want ord3 = 0 only once in all, or only once for each loop of ord1?

 

Here are solutions for each (respectively):

data shell;
	 do ord1= 1 to 5;  												
		do ord2= 2 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,8 ,9 ,12 ,13 ,14 ,15 ,16 ,17 ,18 ,19;
            if(ord1 = 1 and ord2 = 2) then do;
                do ord3= 0 to 6;
			    output;
			    end;
            end;
            else do;
                do ord3= 1 to 6;
			    output;
			    end;
            end;
		end;
	 end;
run;
data shell;
	 do ord1= 1 to 5;  												
		do ord2= 2 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,8 ,9 ,12 ,13 ,14 ,15 ,16 ,17 ,18 ,19;
            if(ord2 = 2) then do;
                do ord3= 0 to 6;
			    output;
			    end;
            end;
            else do;
                do ord3= 1 to 6;
			    output;
			    end;
            end;
		end;
	 end;
run;
