Dear ikwamena

Option One

Code: Select all

PROC V1
If $=1 then
V2=1;
skip to V3;
else
endif;

Option Two

Code: Select all

Proc V2
Preproc
if V1=1 then
$=1
skip to V3;
else
endif;

I hope this answer will helpout.

Thanks very much for the help, but I want to show the value set label instead of the assigned code.
For instance if V1 option West=1 is selected, then I want V2="West" not V2=1.
I tried getlabel and write function, am not able to get want I want.

Try this.


Option 1:

In V1 write:
Postproc
V2=getlabel (V1_VS1, V1);
skip to V3;


Option 2:
in V2 write:

preproc

$=getlabel (V1_VS1, V1);

Note: V2 must be alphnumerics with length atleast 5.
