TASS Meeting Using Multiple DOW Loops September 25th, 2009 Using Multiple DOW Loops Dr. Arthur Tabachneck Director, Data Management Idea stolen from a SAS Global Forum paper by Paul Dorfman and Koen Vyverman

TASS Meeting Using Multiple DOW Loops September 25th, 2009 suppose you had the following data: i.e., proc sort data=sashelp.class out=have; by sex; run;

TASS Meeting Using Multiple DOW Loops September 25th, 2009 and you needed to have the following table: i.e, with a new variable that shows height in terms of number of standard deviations from the group average separately, for males and females: (height-average)/sd Note: this presentation is about the method.. not the particular calculation. Of course, for some calculations, certain procs might be more advantageous

TASS Meeting Using Multiple DOW Loops September 25th, 2009 did you know you can do it in a single data step? data want (drop=n); do until(last.sex); set have; by sex; avg=sum(avg,height); n=sum(n,height/height); end; avg=avg/n; do until(last.sex); set have; by sex; sd=sum(sd,(height-avg)**2); end; sd=sqrt(sd/(n-1)); do until(last.sex); set have; by sex; if missing(height) then call missing(z); else z=(height-avg)/sd; output; end; run;
