Here is a one sql step solution, no need of lag(), where flag=1 means that id meets all the criteria, flag=0 dose not meet, for example, in subid=2, d2-d0=4 days > 2, therefore subid=2 are flagged as 0:

data xx; input subid $ visitid $ visitdt : mmddyy. results test $; format visitdt date.; cards; 1 s 5/06/99 2 a 1 s 5/06/99 7 b 1 s 5/06/99 9 c 1 d0 5/24/99 7 a 1 d0 5/24/99 2 b 1 d0 5/24/99 2 c 1 d2 5/26/99 3 a 1 d2 5/26/99 4 b 1 d2 5/26/99 5 c 1 w2 6/3/99 3 a 1 w2 6/3/99 4 b 1 w2 6/3/99 5 c 2 s 5/06/99 2 a 2 s 5/06/99 7 b 2 s 5/06/99 9 c 2 d0 6/4/99 7 a 2 d0 6/4/99 2 b 2 d0 6/4/99 2 c 2 d2 6/8/99 3 a 2 d2 6/8/99 4 b 2 d2 6/8/99 5 c 2 w2 6/13/99 3 a 2 w2 6/13/99 4 b 2 w2 6/13/99 5 c ;

options nocenter; proc sql; select *, max((visitid='d0')*visitdt)-max((visitid='s')*visitdt) <=25 and max((visitid='d2')*visitdt)-max((visitid='d0')*visitdt) <=2 and max((visitid='w2')*visitdt)-max((visitid='d2')*visitdt) <=9 as flag from xx group by subid order by subid, visitdt ; quit;

Hi SAS users, I have the following problem and I guess I need to use the lag function but am not sure exactly how to go about it.

Data structure:

subid visitid visitdt results test ....more vars 1 s 5/06/99 2 a 1 s 5/06/99 7 b 1 s 5/06/99 9 c 1 d0 5/24/99 7 a 1 d0 5/24/99 2 b 1 d0 5/24/99 2 c 1 d2 5/26/99 3 a 1 d2 5/26/99 4 b 1 d2 5/26/99 5 c

etc etc etc 2 2 2 2

What I need to do is calculate the the number of days between each visit and identify the subid in which the days are not less than or equal to (1) for D0 -S <= 25, (2) D2-D0 <=2 and W2 -D2 <=9 etc. There are multiple visitids as you can see and I am not sure how to implement the lag function here and even if it is the correct thing to do.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Peter Bond.
