hello. I have a problem. Using SAS programming I want to do that:  I
have such a data column(let labeled 'A'):

a
a
b
b
b

d
Now, I want to generate consecutive integers  for each group such
that
A         B
---  ----------
a         1
a         2
a         3
b         1
b         2
b         3
b         4
c         1
d         1
d         2
