Generating Data with DO Loops

Constructing DO Loops

The DATA step below reads Hrd.Absent to determine which departments have more than four absences in one day. Write an iterative DO statement to increment the index variable day by the values of the data set variables Mon, Tue, Wed, Thr, and Fri.

  data hrd.excess;
     set hrd.absent;
    
        if day>4 then 
           Note='Investigate';
     end;
  run;

Description of Hrd.Absent

Variable	Type	Length
Department	char	16
Mon	num	8
Tue	num	8
Wed	num	8
Thr	num	8
Fri	num	8
