Theo,

Have you looked at the select statement in the data step?

try:

data b;
  set a;
    select var1;         /* assume  var1 is $1 */
          when ('x') do;
              actions;
           end;

          when ('y') action;

          when ('z') do;
             actions;
          end;

          otherwise;
    end;
run;

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if the IIF(cond,expr1,expr2) is possible in SAS 6.12.
(or maybe in SAS 8.0)?

If not, Is there an alternative (apart from IF..ELSEIF statements?

Thanks a lot,
Theo
