I was sort of buried in the latter part of the text. I, too, missed it the first time around.

Subject Re: Fw: Re: Deleting rows in a data set...help required

Nat,

I must have missed something in this thread as I never saw anything in the OP's request indicating that the values would be limited to only 11,12,21 and 22.

I would have created an informat to take care of the transposition problem and then delete records that only had constant values of 11,12 or 22.

proc format; invalue transpo 21=12 ; run;

data sample; input (id1-id4) (transpo3.); if min(of id1-id4) eq max(of id1-id4) and min(of id1-id4) in (11,12,22) then delete; cards; 11 12 22 11 22 11 12 12 11 11 11 11 12 21 12 21 11 22 12 12 12 21 22 11 11 22 22 22 22 22 22 22 12 21 22 11 11 22 11 21 13 13 13 13 12 13 21 13 ;
