Hello @sathwik,

Your question requires more details before experts can help. Can you revise your question to include more information? 

Review this checklist:

• Specify a meaningful subject line for your topic.  Avoid generic subjects like "need help," "SAS query," or "urgent."
• When appropriate, provide sample data in text or DATA step format.  See this article for one method you can use.
• If you're encountering an error in SAS, include the SAS log or a screenshot of the error condition. Use the Photos button to include the image in your message.
  
• It also helps to include an example (table or picture) of the result that you're trying to achieve.

To edit your original message, select the "blue gear" icon at the top of the message and select Edit Message.  From there you can adjust the title and add more details to the body of the message.  Or, simply reply to this message with any additional information you can supply.

SAS experts are eager to help -- help them by providing as much detail as you can.

Please explain the issue you have with the code.

In that program we use "IF" condition multiple times for data entry.
But we will reduce the program. By using "IF" condition single time is it possible.

[Jagadishkatam]

you are getting the zero observations because you are not using the exact string in the If statement

in the string, there are leading blanks which we need to keep for the code to work as below.

data Example;
	length Name $15;
	input Name $;

	if Name = '		Madhu' then do i = 1 to 5;
	Designee = 'Jr_Associate';
	Department = 'QA';
	output;
end;
	if Name = '		Sathwik' then do i = 1 to 5;
	Designee = 'Jr_Associate';
	Department = 'PB';
	output;
end;
	if Name = '		Mohan' then do i = 1 to 5;
	Designee = 'Manager';
	Department = 'PB';
	output;
end;
	if Name = '		Raja' then do i = 1 to 5;
	Designee = 'Manager';
	Department = 'QA';
	output;
end;
	if Name = '		Kiran' then do i = 1 to 5;
	Designee = 'Manager';
	Department = 'BA';
	output;
end;
	if Name = '		Sainath' then do i = 1 to 5;
	Designee = 'Manager';
	Department = 'CL';
	output;
end;
	drop i;

Move data out of code. Put the additional columns into the datalines and include them in the input statement.
