Dear 

 

I need to create a variable 'want'  based on 'ady' variable values.

If ady contains at least one of the values (3,6,9,12 or 15,18,21,24) in any record by id and par   then for the subject  want='Yes';  else want='No'

 

output needed;

id    want

1     Yes

2     Yes

3      Yes

4      No

5      No

6      Yes

 

 

for id= 4 and 5    the subjects do not have records with values  (3,6,9,12 or 15). So want='No'.

 

 

Please suggest. Thank you

HI Thank you very much for the help. I have another question which i need help. Currently in my data, I see  3 interval up to 24.  If in my data contains any subject with greater than 24(for example, 39), instead of me again updating my code, is there any way i can make my code efficient. Please suggest solution

 

Thank you

You apparently desire want='yes' for any ID/PAR that has at least one record with ADY as a multiple of 3.  I.e. ADY divided by 3 has a remainder of zero.  In other words  ADY modulo 3 = 0, which in SAS language is  MOD(ADY,3)=0.

 

data one;
input id par $ ady;
datalines;
1 a 3
1 a 6
1 a 9
2 a 6
3 a 3
3 a 4
4 a 4
4 a 8
5 a 7
5 a 10
6 a 5
6 a 12
;

data want (keep=id par want);
  set one (where=(mod(ady,3)=0) in=inw)
      one (where=(mod(ady,3)^=0)) ;
  by id par;
  if first.par;
  if inw then want='Yes';
  else want='No';
run;

This program reads dataset ONE in two "substreams" of the SET statement.  One stream reads in only records with ADY divisible by 3.  The other reads all the other records.   The SET statement with a "by id par" interleaves these two streams such that any qualifying ADY is at the start of each ID/PAR group.  So all you have to do is test the first incoming record for each ID/PAR.

 

--------------------------
The hash OUTPUT method will overwrite a SAS data set, but not append. That can be costly. Consider voting for Add a HASH object method which would append a hash object to an existing SAS data set

Would enabling PROC SORT to simultaneously output multiple datasets be useful? Then vote for
Allow PROC SORT to output multiple datasets
