Dear all,

 

I want to create a new data set from the old data set when the variable in the group is different.

for example,

 

the old dataset

variable , group 12, A 13, A 14,B 15,C

I would like to only keep 

the new dataset 

variable , group 12, A 13, A

 

 

I try to use the code like 

DATA Sa_Step1.appln_new3;
   SET Sa_Step1.appln_new2;
   if count ( case group_name ) >1 ;
RUN;

but it doesn't work. could you please give me a suggestion ?

 

thanks in advance.
