I have data for people in this form:

 

DATA have;
    INPUT id start_age end_age;
    DATALINES;
    1 27 30
    2 15 15
    3 30 32
    ;
RUN

I want to add a new row for every year of data between the two ages, inclusive of start and end ages. My desired output looks like:

 

ID   age_year 

1          27

1          28

1          29

1          30

2          15

3          30

3          31

3          32

 

Should I use an array and within a do loop add rows for i=start_age to end_age?

Please dont code all in uppercase.  A simple do loop and output will suffice:

data want (drop=start_age end_age);
  set have;
  do age=start_age to end_age;
    output;
  end;
run;
