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
AB xxxx 1 18628 18992
AB xxxx 1 18993 19272

;
run;

 

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,

FK1
