Re: Transforming multiple records to one record

Untested but try:

Data Need ;
UpDate Sam1 ( Obs = 0 )
Sam1 ;
By ID ;
Run ;

Two wrongs are only the beginning.

Success always occurs in private and failure in full view.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Hi everyone,

I have a dataset with multiple records for same ID like this:

data sam1;
input id a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 $ a6 $;
cards;
101 1 . . . *
101 . 2 . . *
101 . . 3 . *
101 . . . 4 *
102 1 . 3 . * .
102 . 2 . 4 .
;

I would like to have my output dataset to look like this: one record
per id;

id a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6
===================
101 1 2 3 4 *
102 1 2 3 4 *

I tried to use both array and proc transpose to get the output, but
the variables are different data types (Character & Numeric), it gives
me an error.

Please input your suggestions. Thanks for your help.

Regards!
Nat
