hi ... if this is supposed to write to a file,  and if only of of the conditions can be true,  how
about ...


col = (pp1 eq 'Y') * 101 + (pp2 eq 'Y') * 153 + (pp3 eq 'Y') * 201;

put
@01 data1 $char10.
@12 data2 $char19.
@70 'C'
@col data3 $char10. @;


ps  I'm not sure what this means to SAS (if anything) ...

 IF PP1  = 'Y' THEN DO;
  @101 DATA3 $CHAR10.
  @;
end;

the code between do/end should be some executable statement not just a portion of a PUT statement,
yes/no?
