data test1;

date1="1jun2019"d;

date2="1may2016"d;

date3="1apr2018"d;

tran_dt="15nov2018"d;

format date1 date2 date3 tran_dt mmddyy10.;

run;

 

 

data test2;

set test1;

if coalesce(date1,date2,date3) <=tran_dt;

run;

data test3;

date1="1jun2016"d;

date2="1may2018"d;

date3="1apr2019"d;

tran_dt="15nov2018"d;

format date1 date2 date3 tran_dt mmddyy10.;

run;

 

 

data test4;

set test1;

if coalesce(date1,date2,date3) <=tran_dt;

run;

%macro eof(report,cnt);

data &report.;

 

if eof then output;

modify &report. end=eof;

cnt=1;

 

run;

%mend;

 

%eof(test2,cnt);

%eof(test4,cnt);

 

Test2 and 4 are the final datasets in this script.  I want to add cnt=1 to each datset.  I have about 20 in my program but just showing 2 for discussion.  I tried the macro seen here however I get no records.  Any ideas????

What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want to add a new variable that's equal to 1 for every record in these tables? Do you want only the last record?
