I am recoding a large number of coded character variables into dummy variables.  I am using one of the published routines that creates a series of If-Then statements and then stores then in a character variable in a SAS dataset.  Unfortunately, that routine did not indicate how to use the character variable to create executable SAS datastep statements. Here's an example: Dataset work.dummy code...
