Hi,
On this dataset (already sorted by ID, L) , I want to update EXP to 0 in these cases:
1. The First.L per ID is not 1 (and all the subsequent to it)
2. The first time the sequence of L is broken per ID and all the subsequent to it. (there are repetitions of L)
i.e the output should be
A1 1 10
A1 1 10
A1 2 20
A1 2 20
A1 4 0
A1 4 0
A1 5 0
A2 1 10
A2 2 60
A2 2 60
A2 3 60
A2 3 60
A2 5 0
A2 7 0
A3 2 0
A3 4 0
The above code does not properly work in this case.
How should be amended?
Thanks.
Please explain what "The first time the sequence of L is broken per ID" means.

Maybe this solves it, i renamed "L" to increase readability.
data want;
set have;
by ID;
retain reset;
LastLorax = lag(Lorax);
if first.Id then do;
LastLorax = .;
reset = 0;
if Lorax ^= 1 then do;
reset = 1;
end;
end;
else do;
if Lorax - LastLorax > 1 or Lorax = 4 then do;
reset = 1;
end;
end;
if reset then do;
exp = 0;
end;
keep ID Lorax Exp;
