I am having trouble attaching a SAS dataset -how can I put a sample of the data here?
Instructions here will show how to turn a data set into datastep code: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/How-to-create-a-data-step-version-of-your-dat...
To post just a few records subset your data such as with the OBS dataset option on a set statement. I also recomment removing variables that are not concerned with the issue at hand (drop or keep as needed).
Then either paste the resulting data step code into a code box using the {i} icon or attach as a text file.
