Your code works fine. Trying to adapt to my dataset, are there reasons why it will show no records? Log is empty too.
Thanks in advance.

Figured it is due to duplicated IDs. Dataset is more like this...

data have;
input ID Type $;
infile datalines missover;
datalines;
1 Apple
2 Orange
3
3 Apple
3 Apple
4 Apple
4 Lemon
