Nested do loop in sas

[subhasr]

Hi, 

I am new to SAS community. I have a small problem with do loops while using macro. I want to get Bill_1, bill_2 , bill_3 which is assigned as i (bill_&i). I also want stat_1, stat_2 and stat_3 which is assigned as j (stat_&j).

Now I write a do loop for %do i= 1 %to 3;
                                       %do j= 1 %to 3;

So definitely its getting looped 9 times. But I want it to produce just 3 combinatuions like this.  Bill_1,Stat_1

                                                                                                                                                    Bill_2,Stat_2

                                                                                                                                                    Bill_3,Stat_3.

If I could get some help please.

Can you assign them using the same macro variable, say i and do one loop?

bill_&i, stat_&i

 %do i= 1 %to 3
