Hi SAS Users,
I have a global macro which contains a list of values in which the order they appear represent the order they should appear in the dataset.
%let values = A, C, D, Z;
I want to loop through the list and create a dataset similar to this. I want this to be a dynamic dataset that updates itself when a new list is added.
Values order
A 1
C 2
D 3
Z 4
%let values = A, C, D, Z;
data want;
do order=1 to countw("&values",',');
values=scan("&values",order,',');
output;
end;
run;
%let values = A, C, D, Z;
data want;
do order=1 to countw("&values",',');
values=scan("&values",order,',');
output;
end;
run;
