Isabelle,

If you want to use the code on existing datasets use the SET statement
to read from an existing dataset and copy the ARRAY / DO loop part.

data new;
  set existing;
  array a_col .. ;
  do over a_col;
  ...
  end;
run;

Hth,
Eric

... in this cas i
need to adapt the code so it can deal with SAS datasets that already
exist in a SAS library.
