Kunal,
You can have it. In one pass of dataset (within a datastep) you can load the
values(Marks) into a TEMPORARY array say:
array a[NUM] _temporary_;
NUM is the number of Distinct values of Marks.
In the next Pass, within the same datastep, you can use a[1], a[2] ...
a[NUM].
If you want to use a[0] to a[NUM] then declare the array (having NUM + 1
elements) as:
array a[0:NUM] _temporary_ ;
If you show some small example dataset then someone will show you the way to
go with temporary array.
