Subject:      Assigning ID

I have a dataset need to give each observation a unique ID base on let's say
sex and age(64 as cut point). That will be divided into four groups. I then
will assign a ID to each observation of each group. Which SAS statement or
function can do the job? I can vonvert the dataset to Excel and get the job
done. However, I just want to know how I can accomplish this task using SAS.
Thank you.
