hi I need to categorize variable (let it be 'b'). I wrote this code
and i don't know what is wrong :(

data z1;
input p $ d  t $ ;
cards;
3 1 a1
3 5 a3
3 7 a8
3 9 a5
3 6 g2
3 . t1
. 0 .
. . .
1 4 g2
2 1 f1
2 4 1
run;
-----------------------------------------------
and my macro
----------------------------------------------
I would have 1 category (variable 'b')  every 2 units (variable 'd')
=======================================
%macro pod( n=, l=);
data new;
        set z1;
%do i=1 %to &n %by 2;
        %do j=&i+2 %to &n;
                %do k=1 %to &l;
        if &i < d < &j then b=&k;
                 %end;
        %end;
%end;
run;
%MEND pod;
