Oh, I get it; you don't know who to marry and who to slay.  Well, I'm
thinking that, unless I have grossly misunderstood your question, your
solution falls well outside of the parameters of SAS programming.  I would
suggest that, if everyday clues do not make the situation clear, you simply
ask.

Best of luck to you in determining who you should buy a Father's Day card,
and who you should bring flowers to on Mother's Day!


I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!
