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;
