how to get randomization numbers

[thanikondharish]

data main ;
input subid $ condition $ ;
cards ;
101 normal
101 abnormal
102 normal
102 abnormal
103 normal
103 abnormal
;

how to assign type variable

i want to data like see below 

subid	condition	type
101	normal	0
101	abnormal	1
102	normal	1
102	abnormal	0
103	normal	0
103	abnormal	1

Please explain the process that assigns a 0 or 1 to type.

[thanikondharish]

subjects have type numbers like 0 means subject is not in that condition ,
1 means subject present in that condition

But this explains nothing. The question is not what does 0 or 1 mean. The question is: How do we assign the 0 or the 1?

[RW9]

Please post full information, how is the 0 or 1 assigned?  Maybe:

x=rand('UNIFORM');

From the manual:

Is type simply a random 0/1 variable?

If so then do

data want;
   set main;
   a=rand('Integer', 0, 1);
run;

is 0 and 1 always assigned to normal = 0 and abnormal = 1?

having a full understanding of what you have and what you want, and maybe the why helps others understand without having to solve the implied assumptions.

The original example did not follow this rule.

Yes, I agree completely, there's no way to answer the question without this explanation.

[ballardw]

One way to assign a random value of 0 or 1.

data want;
 set have;
 type= rand('table',.5, .5) -1;
run;

The .5 are the probabilities of selection. If you want/need other than 50/50 split adjust the values but keep a total of 1.

[Reeza]

RAND() function with Bernoulli option and you can specify the probability of a 0 or 1.

data main ;
input subid $ condition $ ;
array x{0:1} _temporary_ ;
call streaminit(12345678);
i=mod(_n_,2);
if i=1 then do;
    if rand('bern',0.5)=1 then do;x{0}=1;x{1}=0;end;
	 else do;x{0}=0;x{1}=1;end;
end;
flag=x{i};
drop i ;
cards ;
101 normal
101 abnormal
102 normal
102 abnormal
103 normal
103 abnormal
