Hi,
Below mentioned code works as expect when we remove following line of code from proc sort
sortseq = linguistic(strength=primary numeric_collation=on) but not with it
Any help in regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Raj

The BY statement in other procedures are not aware of the SORTseq options. If you need to use By some processes, like Transpose, you should add a variable that behaves as needed prior to the transpose. Or possibly use the BY NOTSORTED option in Proc Transpose the values get treated as groups regardless of BY behavior.
proc transpose data=Test out=Result; by notsorted USUBJID VISITNUM VSTPTNUM; var PULSE TEMP SYS DIA; run;
If you are going to use TABS to delimit data you really need to paste the code into a text box as the message windows reformat white space characters. As shown your data step does not run because of the way the forum changes things.
Hi Ballardw,
That didn't work as expected. Please also find attached the corresponding sas code file for your reference .
Thanks
Raj
Is this a bug?
Because proc transpose with notsorted in by clause is not working as expected when data is sorted with linguistic option and containing both character and numeric variables in by clause of proc sort
