Dear all,

assuming I have this  dataset and I want to find the range of the ages.

If I want the range to be displayed like (23-94). How do I do that?

data have;
    infile datalines truncover ;
  input age;
datalines;
23
43

55
60
94
55
60
; run

What do expect as result exactly?

 

Untested:

data want;
  set have end=jobDone;
  retain min max;
  if _n_ = 1 then do;
    min = 99999;
    max = 0;
  end;

  min = min(min, age);
  max = max(max, age);

  if jobDone then do;
    put min " - " max;
  end;
run;
