Without posting any sample data (in usable form) answering question is almost always guesswork. From your initial post i would have answered the very same that @Patrick did. If you want to duplicate observations, you have to use the output-statement.

data want;
  set have;
  if x = 'rajesh' then output;
  output;
run;

As per my requirement i want name mentioned in nunber of times in different cells as, if i want rajesh as 2 times
Rajesh
Rajesh

Please give an example of your input dataset and what the output should look like.

Does this answer your question ?

data have;
input name $ times;
cards;
Rajesh 2
Howard 3
;
run;

data want;
set have;
do i=1 to times;
output;
end;

keep name;
run;
