This question has been asked a lot lately in here. Is this an interview question?

 

The good answer to the question is: Don't do that. There is no reason to split a data set into data sets containing 1 observation each.

Why??? What can you do better with the multiple sets that cannot be accomplished with a single data set?

 

And why are you specifying use of a Macro do loop?

 

Where do the names of your resulting data sets come from? Or do you know what you want to name them?
