I have hundreds of value in the following format in one SAS dataset:

ID                  Chemical     Value

AS4001X    abc               1.4

AS4001X   def                3.2

AS4001X    ghi                3.4

BC4002Y    abc               2.1

BC4002Y    def                4.3

BC4002Y    ghi               5.4

..................

and so on

I would like is to change each value of 'Chemical' into a variable so that I get the new dataset that look like this:

ID                abc         def         ghi

AS4001X    1.4           3.2       3.4

BC4002Y    2.1           4.3       5.4

...........

Please suggest how do I go about about making such modification of dataset. I thank you all in advance.
