if there is a real possibility that all of the variables are missing, I
would test this before running the do-loop:

if n(of dc1-dc10) then do i=1 to 10;



in SCL (SAS 6.12) this works (just try it in V8/Base):

  array code (10)  dc1 - dc10;

  if 410 in code then icd = 'acute';

     else if 411 in code then icd = 'acute';

        else if 412 in code then icd = 'nonacute';

           else if 413 in code then icd = 'nonacute';
              * ......;
              else if n(of dc1 - dc10) then icd = 'other';
