Accumulating

Suppose you want to create the data set Finance.Newloan by reading and modifying data from Finance.Records: |
SAS Data Set Finance.Records
Account | Amount | Rate | Months | Payment | Code |
101-1092 | 22000 | 0.1000 | 60 | 467.43 | 1 |
101-1731 | 114000 | 0.0950 | 360 | 958.57 | 2 |
101-1289 | 10000 | 0.1050 | 36 | 325.02 | 2 |
101-3144 | 3500 | 0.1050 | 12 | 308.52 | 1 |
For the new data set, you want to drop the variables
Amount and Rate and create the variable
TotalLoan to accumulate the total of loan payments: |
SAS Data Set Finance.Newloan
Account | Months | Payment | Code | TotalLoan |
101-1092 | 60 | 467.43 | 1 | 467.43 |
101-1731 | 360 | 958.57 | 2 | 1426.00 |
101-1289 | 36 | 325.02 | 2 | 1751.02 |
101-3144 | 12 | 308.52 | 1 | 2059.54 |
Let's see how you create this variable. |
