It looks to me as if the second marked line should be
   VARS(J)=DAT(COUNT); rather than VARS(I)...

 Hi,
   I'm trying to produce a 32*32 lower triangular matrix from its 528
members read in as a single record. I store the data in array dat and have
2 nested loops to get the correct sequence in the matrix. The problem is
with the variable count that does not increment as I expected.
 
 
        array dat(*) v1-v528 ;
        array vars(*) var1-var32 ;
 
        keep var1-var32 ;
 
        count = 0 ;
 
           do i = 1 to 32 ;
                do j = 1 to i ;
 
         ******* count = count + 1 ;    **********
         ******* vars(i) = dat(count) ; **********
 
                end ;
                output ;
           end ;
 
run ;
 
proc print ; run ;
 
 
yours sincerely
Andrew McCulloch
