Jen ,

Simpliest solution is to sort your data by SSN then do the following:

Data Need ;
Set Have ;
By SSN ;

If First.SSN Then NewID + 1 ;

Run ;

Hello,

I have a file of information about people and I want to create an id
variable to replace SSN.  In this file people have multiple rows, ie, some
SSNs have multiple rows, others don't.

I know this probably a simple request but I couldn't find something
similar in a search.

Thanks,

Jen
