Hi, Ksharp, Thank you for your response! However, A & B are columns from data files. when I try to replace A and B using libname.dataname--there are syntax errors. Also, lib.data2 include B but also other variables that's not in the variable --how can I address that?
Moreover, for my table A : it's 4*8 b/c there are only 4 types. for my table B: there are 500k rows while each row has a type in the type column, thus the dimension is 500k*length(duration). Is there still a way to calculate it?
"when I try to replace A and B using libname.dataname--there are syntax errors. Also, lib.data2 include B but also other variables that's not in the variable --how can I address that?" Post your code and Log (Error) Information . "Moreover, for my table A : it's 4*8 b/c there are only 4 types. for my table B: there are 500k rows while each row has a type in the type column, thus the dimension is 500k*length(duration). Is there still a way to calculate it?" Then IML still can work on that , but need some more code . Post some data and the output you want to get to explain your requirement if you really want IML code . Or just try Data Step .
