So you want 5 separate data sets from this 1 data set? Also, what if more than one observation had the same name? And same Name and City? Like below

 

data split_obs;
input name $ city$ ;
datalines;
A   mumbai  
A   mumbai  
A   pune    
B   chennai 
C   pune    
D   chennai 
F   mumbai

I want those observations separated with single observation with cityname of the dataset

ex data_mumbai      contains  Name     City

                                          A         mumbai 

 

 

like that

Why? Having data as single lines in many data sets makes your programming harder.
