trying a different approach. I have a single dataset consisting of 10000 observations, 1000 per ID. I would like to run each ID from that dataset through a proc surveyselect function. I would like the first ID to run through the function then loop to the second ID to run through the function. Outputting a dataset for each ID. How can I execute that? If possible.
Three ways:
Option 1: Call execute
Create a distinct list of IDs and run call execute
on each one.
proc sql noprint;
create table all_ids as
select distinct id
from have
;
quit;
data _null_;
set all_ids;
call execute(cat('
proc surveyselect data=have out=want_', id, ' sampsize=100;',
' where id = ', id, ';
run;')
);
run;
Option 2: Loop with a macro
Create a distinct macro list of IDs and loop through using a macro.
%macro survey(sampsize=100);
proc sql noprint;
select distinct id
into :all_ids separated by ' '
from have
;
quit;
%do i = 1 %to %sysfunc(countw(&all_ids.) );
%let id = %scan(&all_ids., &i.);
proc surveyselect data=have out=want_&id. sampsize=&sampsize.;
where id = &id.;
run;
%end;
%mend;
%survey;
Option 3: Strata
This will not get you individual datasets for each ID, but you can easily stratify by ID and get samples.
proc surveyselect data=have out=want sampsize=100;
strata id;
run;
