I think an array will solve this problem but I'm not very experienced using them. I have one field delinquent count, I would like to use that field to assign a value to another field. If delinquent count is 3, then the value of delinquent amount should go into d_cycle3. Below is some code that will show what I am trying to do. I've been playing around with arrays trying to get it done with no success.
Thanks in advance.
If there's a better way than an array I'm open to that too.
Cheers,
data have;
infile cards;
input id$ cycle_delq$ CURRENT_DLQ_AMT;
cards;
001 0 0
001 0 0
001 1 5
001 1 5
001 2 10
001 3 10
001 4 15
001 4 15
001 5 20
001 C 0

run;
data want;
set have;
array flow{6} d_cycle0-d_cycle5;
if input(cycle_delq,1.) = 0 then d_cycle0 = CURRENT_DLQ_AMT;
if input(cycle_delq,1.) = 1 then d_cycle1 = CURRENT_DLQ_AMT;
if input(cycle_delq,1.) = 2 then d_cycle2 = CURRENT_DLQ_AMT;
if input(cycle_delq,1.) = 3 then d_cycle3 = CURRENT_DLQ_AMT;
if input(cycle_delq,1.) = 4 then d_cycle4 = CURRENT_DLQ_AMT;
if input(cycle_delq,1.) = 5 then d_cycle5 = CURRENT_DLQ_AMT;
run;
data wantt;
set have1;
array flow{0:5} d_cycle0-d_cycle5;
temp=input(cycle_delq,1.);
flow(temp)=CURRENT_DLQ_AMT;
drop temp;
run;
EDITED: To add drop temp statement
Try this:
flow{input(cycle_delq,1.) - 1} = CURRENT_DLQ_AMT;
data wantt;
set have1;
array flow{0:5} d_cycle0-d_cycle5;
temp=input(cycle_delq,1.);
flow(temp)=CURRENT_DLQ_AMT;
drop temp;
run;
EDITED: To add drop temp statement
That was close, thanks so much. Because of the potential for Character values there is one more step needed:
data want;
set have;
array flow{0:5} d_cycle0-d_cycle5;
if not missing(input(cycle_delq,1.)) then do;
temp=input(cycle_delq,1.);
flow(temp)=CURRENT_DLQ_AMT;
end;
run;
