@PaigeMiller, Reading through this thread, you replied twice about "letting many SAS procs generate the dummy variables for you" yet you never suggested what SAS procs to use or gave an example. When people post a question here, they obviously don't know how to do it and are asking for help. Simply stating that SAS can do it for you is not helpful in the least. Notice how the other two that replied gave sample code. It may not be the most efficient but one of them apparently worked for @srikanthyadav44 . You might as well have just replied..."go read the manual". Sorry, but replies like yours just waste time.
And I could send @srikanthyadav44 on a wild goose chase that will not help him further by suggesting PROC ABCDEF to create dummy variables, when that's not what he needs. Or I could name all the PROCs that will do this and let @srikanthyadav44 try each one to find the one that does what he wants. At no time did I say "read the manual". I said: explain what you need.
