I got a code as shown below. How do I abbreviate the if statements in a way that goes like this Chile-Japan without typing every one of them?

 

data med;
infile "/folders/myshortcuts/sas/Vaccines.dat";
input
VacName $ 1-29
Mode $ 32-50
WInc 51-60
WDeath 61-70
Chile $ 71-73
Cuba $ 77-79
US $ 83-85
UK $ 89-91
Finland $ 95-97
Germany $ 101-103
SaudiArab $ 107-109
Ethiopia $ 113-115
Botswana $ 119-121
India $ 125-127
Australia $ 131-133
China $ 137-139
Japan $ 143-145
;
if WDeath = "" then WDeath = "0";
if WInc = "" then WDeath = "0";
if Chile = "" then Chile = "No";
if Cuba = "" then Cuba = "No";
if US = "" then US = "No";
