Hi,

Given the example you provided, how do you want the end result to look like?

Thanks.

Presuming that you want all of the records associated with 80% of unique IDs to be identified:

data have;

input id score forum;

cards;

12     89          98   

12     87          67   

13     56          87   

13     45          98   

14     78          98

15    23           87   

16    54          23

;

proc sql;

create table ids as select distinct id, 0 as id_rand_val from work.have order by id;

update ids set id_rand_val=rand('uniform');

create table want as

select

    t1.*,

    case when t2.id_rand_val <= .8 then 'Group1' else 'Group2' end as ID_Group

from

    work.have t1

    inner join work.ids t2

        on t1.id=t2.id;

quit;

SELECTED=1 is the RATE= sample in this case the 20%.  Therefore SELECTED=0 would be the 1-rate part.

data score;
   input id $     score    forum;
   cards;
12     89          98    
12     87          67    
13     56          87    
13     45          98    
14     78          98
15    23           87    
16    54          23
