I have this dataset (have) with number combinations in column b. 

If column b contains the numbers 100, 200, 100 and 200, it should give the tag ="check". 

If column b contains a combination of 100 and not 200, it should give no tag.

 

Can this be possible in one data step? 

 

Code is below:


data have;
input a b :$32.;
cards;
1 100-100
2 300
3 200-100
4 300-300-300-100
5 200
;
run;

 

/*If b in ('100', '200') then tag = "check"*/

data want;
input a b :$32. tag $5.;
cards;
1 100-100 tag
2 300
3 200-100 tag
4 300-300-100
5 200 tag
;
run;
