Hi @teja5959
You can use an ARRAY to do this, and the VNAME() function to retrieve the column name when the value is 1:
data want;
set a;
length race $ 20;
array _race (*) white black Native American Asian;
do i=1 to dim(_race);
if sum(of _race(*)) = 1 then do;
if _race(i)=1 then race = upcase(vname(_race(i)));
end;
if sum(of _race(*)) > 1 then race = "MULTIPUL";
end;
drop i;
run;
Native and American as separate races????
Native what? Is this the Native Hawaiian/ Other Pacific Islander or Alaska Native/American Indian (two typical race categories in the US OMB playbook)
