Did you run it? Also....you have some interesting variable names that make me not want to answer your question.

Hi,
In Output of this code, dummy variable created with same name as value of name variable having value of 0 and 1 ...

You can achieve something similar without macro coding:

data class;
set sashelp.class;
value = 1;
run;

proc transpose data=class out=want (drop=_name_);
by name age sex weight height;
var value;
id name;
run;

It is the same as 

 

data have;
 set sashelp.class;
 dummy=1;
run;
proc logistic data=have outdesign=want(drop=intercept dummy) outdesignonly;
class name/param=glm;
model dummy=name;
run;
