I can not do that because A is not properly sorted???????????????

What is the criteria to create id then?

the criteria is that A must be the same for the id=1.

Then sort the data.  If you need original sorting then do:

data have;

     set a;

     prev_sort=_n_;

run;

proc sort data=have;

     by a b;

run;

data want;

set have;

by a;

if first.a then id+1;

run;

proc sort data=want;

     by prev_sort;

run;

However, if your test data is right (and after this sort statement I am not sure), just say:

data want;

     set have;

     do I=1 to 100;

          if (i *10) < a <= ((I+1) * 10) then id=I;

     end;

run;
