I need to separate a variable into small groups, for example, besides missing and 0, keep every 100 as a small group, how to write a macro or do loop to do this?
/*data bucket1;*/
/*set rf.bucket1;*/
/*if t_amt_pd_inst_trd=. then group=1;*/
/*else if t_amt_pd_inst_trd=0 then group=2;*/
/*else if t_amt_pd_inst_trd>=1 and t_amt_pd_inst_trd<=100 then group=3;*/
/*else if t_amt_pd_inst_trd>=101 and t_amt_pd_inst_trd<=200 then group=4;*/
/*else if t_amt_pd_inst_trd>=201 and t_amt_pd_inst_trd<=300 then group=5;*/
/*else if t_amt_pd_inst_trd>=301 and t_amt_pd_inst_trd<=400 then group=6;*/
/*else if t_amt_pd_inst_trd>=401 and t_amt_pd_inst_trd<=500 then group=7;*/
/*else if t_amt_pd_inst_trd>=501 and t_amt_pd_inst_trd<=600 then group=8;*/
/*else if t_amt_pd_inst_trd>=601 and t_amt_pd_inst_trd<=700 then group=9;*/
/*else if t_amt_pd_inst_trd>=701 and t_amt_pd_inst_trd<=800 then group=10;*/

data have;
n=.;
output;
do n=0 to 1000;
output;
end;
run;
data want;
set have;
if missing(n) then do; group=1;output;end;
else if n in (0,1) then do;group+1;output;end;
else if mod(n,100)=0 then do;
output;group+1;end;
else output;
run;
Your first few categories have to be written out (similar to what you did). But the rest can be collapsed into a single statement:
if t_amt_pd_inst_trd=. then group=1;
else if t_amt_pd_inst_trd=0 then group=2;
else if t_amt_pd_inst_trd>=1 then group = 3 + int((t_amt_pd_inst_trd-1)/100);
