Hi,
I've got a dataset that looks like this:
DATA work.kip ;
LENGTH ref $7. q1_2019 q2_2019 q3_2019 q4_2019 8. ;
INFILE CARDS TRUNCOVER ;
INPUT ref q1_2019 q2_2019 q3_2019 q4_2019 ;
CARDS ;
q1_2019 1369 3625 3679 36875
q3_2019 6369 4587 5637 8963
q2_2019 123 456 789 123
q2_2019 3568 69876 3685 7896
;
RUN ;
The REF variable contains the name of the variable I would like to store in a new variable AMOUNT. I could use an IF THEN ELSE statement, but I is there a way to get the value of the variable name stored in REF?
