Hi Everyone,
can anybody help me with this:
data HAVE;
format ID $2. VAR1 $4. VAR2 8.;
format VALID_FROM VALID_TO Date9.;
input @1 ID
@3 VAR1
@8 VAR2
@10 VALID_FROM
@16 VALID_TO
;
datalines;
AB xxxx 1 17828 19272
;
run;
data WANT;
format ID $2. VAR1 $4. VAR2 8.;
format VALID_FROM VALID_TO Date9.;
input @1 ID
@3 VAR1
@8 VAR2
@10 VALID_FROM
@16 VALID_TO
;
datalines;
AB xxxx 1 17828 17897
AB xxxx 1 17898 18262
AB xxxx 1 18263 18627

I want to have as much observations as are years in between the valid_from and valid_to date and simultaneously retain the values for the variables ID, VAR1, VAR2.
How can I program this in SAS BASE?
Thanks,
