Hi everyone,

 

I need to create extra rows by swapping variables. For example, I have a dataset with two variables first name and last name:

firstName lastName

Sara        Daner

 

And I want an extra row by swapping first name and last name, desired dataset will be like:

firstName lastName

Sara        Daner

Daner      Sara

 

What is the best way to do it? Thanks!

One way is to use RENAME= option.

data want;
  set have have(rename=(firstName=lastName lastName=firstName));
run;
