dear all

i have a data set with paramters called two which looks like this

                        Obs    _NAME_            PAY
                   1     INTERCEPT    -1033.55
                   2     LPAY             0.77
                   3     AGE             49.86
                   4     AGEMALE         28.30
                   5     MALE          -522.86

i also have a data set called home.privpa2 which has a lot of variables
(including those in the _name_ column, except intercept). i want to multiply
parm*vars within proc iml. in line 5 in the code below I need a clever way of
multiplication of parm*vars if _name_ is equal to column name in vars.

1 proc iml;
  start prog1;
        use two; read all into parm;
        use home.privpa4 (where=(time=24)); read all into vars;
5       pay=parm(1,2)+parm(&i,2-end(parm))* ;
        create privpa25;
  finish prog1;
  run prog1;
  quit;

help is appreciated
