- I would appreciate help with a problem. Is it possible in SAS
- to run one or more data steps to completion in the middle of
- another data step? Specifically, I would like to be able to
- write and process new temporary data sets within iterations of
- a "DO" loop in another data step. For example,
-
- data second secondb; set first(keep=v1-v10);
- array(eins) v1-v10;
- do i = 1 to 10;
- do j = 1 to 10;
- id1 = eins(i);
- id2 = eins(j);
- output secondb;
- end;
- **** I would like to be able to process SECONDB (e.g., sort, merge
- with another data set) before moving to the next iteration of
- the "i" counter;
-
- end;
-
- Thanks,
-
- Bob
