Each ID have several records. I want one record for each ID.

Each ID have 1 to 2 PROD:s. Each record can have CAT in {'A','B'}. If an ID have CAT='A' in any of it's records then CAT should become 'A', otherwise 'B'.

The first PROD in time should become PR1, the second PR2(if any).

The corresponding sums of AMOUNT should be assigned to AM1 and AM2 resp.

Corresponding days D1 and D2 should be calculated by taking the last DATE2 - the first DATE1 for each PROD. First DATE1 for the first PROD should be saved as STRT1 and last DATE2 for the first PROD should be saved as STP1.
If a second PROD exists then STRT2 and STP2 should be saved in the same manner.

Example:

ID***PROD**DATE1*****DATE2*****AMOUNT**CAT
10***111****20050108**20050110****100*******'B'
10***111****20050112**20050117****500*******'A'
10***111****20050121**20050124****200*******'B'
10***222****20050110**20050112****150*******'B'
10***222****20050115**20050120****250*******'B'
20***222****20010601**20010616****700*******'B'

should become:

ID**PR1*STRT1****STP1**D1**AM1*PR2*STRT2**STP2****D2**AM2*CAT
10**111*050108**050124*16**800**222**050110**050120*10**400***'A'
20**222*010601**010616*10**700***(.)***(BLANK)*(BLANK)*(.)**(.)****'B'

Note that the first PROD in time becomes PR1 regardless of what PROD.

This must be possible to do in a single data step. Any help is much appreciated.

You have/had another recent thread where BY GROUP PROCESSING was demonstrated as a way to address the need to group data-rows based on defined conditions (generated using IF / THEN statements).

Have you attempted any coding at all, given that this data-sample appears to be similar to the "selecting records" post/thread you had going previously? Suggest you reveal SAS programming code that you have attempted to use to solve this query, then obtain useful and most suitable feedback to make your SAS program most effective.

Of course, unless you're just looking to have someone else write the SAS program for you? And, so, there are individuals on these forum channels willing to do so, possibly.

Scott Barry,

I was expecting a reply from you and with the kind of comments that it actually contains.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could become the SAS Institute official censor of this forum?

Why are your logic so complex always.
I totally be messed up by it.
