I have the following data. A table of events that can contain any number of codes.

 

data have;
    input id$ code$ @@;
    datalines;
    aa x1 aa x1 aa x2
    bb x1 bb y1 bb y1 bb z2 bb z4
    cc x1 cc x2 cc y1 cc x1 cc x1 cc q1
    dd z2 dd z2 dd z2 dd q1
    ;
run;

 

I want to transpose the data so the codes associated with each event is stored in the same row.

 I got it to work by moving the prefix up.

 

proc transpose data=have out=want (drop=name) prefix=code;
  by id;
  var code;
run;

Thanks.

This seems to work for your example:

proc transpose data=have out=want(drop=name)
  prefix=code;
  by id;
  var code;
run;
