Multiple queries? But why?
You could also use a data step that concatenates variable and creates macro variable at the end of each group id.
Untested but the gist of the idea is there.
Data _null_;
Length var_string $200.;
Set have;
By id;
Retain var_string;
If first.id then call missing(var_string);
Var_string = catt(var_string, value);
If last.id then call symputx('var'|put(id, z3.), var_string);
Run;
The SQL into clause could load everything into one macro variable, but I want to group them into different variables based on the ID. Any suggestions?
