Please help

Your question is unclear. 

Are you trying to understand how to read a file with lines of text that look like the first example data? 

Or do you already have a SAS dataset that looks like the result of that first data step and you want to create a new TEXT file?

Do you have a dataset that looks like the result of the first data step and you want to transpose it into a dataset that has fewer observations and more variables?

Or something else?

Hi I have a data set like above. I would like this tall table to be wide table one row per event_num like this

Event_Num     RX_Date    RX                   TRMT1 TRMT2

70940 07/22/2019 Azi 1GM& Cef 250MG    04       11

70086 06/12/2019 Gent240mg&Azi 2GM    28       21

70948 07/25/2019 Azi 1GM&Cef 250MG   04        11

SAS is not easy for me to post a question.

It looks like you want concatenate the values of the RX string into one long variable.

It appears you want to ignore the 0 values in TRMT1 and TRMT and just store the non-missing values into new variables named TRMT1, TRMT2, .....

It would help if you first eliminated the confusion of starting with two treatment number variables.  If they really are numbers and the pattern is that only one of the two will be non-zero then just add them.  If the logic is more complex than that then please explain.

Here is simple step by step approach.

First fix the two variable problem.

data step1;
  set patients;
  treatment = sum(trmt1,trmt);
run;

THen transpose the data.

proc transpose data=step1 out=step2_rx prefix=rx;
  by event_num rx_date ;
  var rx ;
run;

proc transpose data=step1 out=step2_trmt prefix=trmt ;
  by event_num rx_date ;
  var treatment;
run;

Now put them together than collapse the mutliple RX strings into a single string. Make sure to make it long enough.

data want;
  merge step2_rx step2_trtmt ;
  by event_num rx_date ;
  length new_rx $2000 ;
  new_rx = catx('&',of rx:);
  drop rx: ;
  rename new_rx=rx;
run;
