DATA ALT; SET RCA.CLOSING_STATUS_TEST; ARRAY COLS[*] _CHARACTER_; ARRAY COLS_[*] _CHARACTER_; DO I = 1 TO DIM(COLS); IF MOD(I, 2) = 1 THEN COLS_[(I+1)/2] = COLS[I]; END; DROP I; RUN; Hi, I have been trying to select the alternate columns. If I am using this code then my third column's data shifts to second column and second's values are disappearing. I want to select alternate columns from my data set and my column names are in following: LOAN_NO, PRODUCT, FINAL_STATUS_05MAY24,DUE_N_TAG_05MAY24, FINAL_STATUS_06MAY24,DUE_N_TAG_06MAY24, FINAL_STATUS_07MAY24,DUE_N_TAG_07MAY24,... and so on. I want to create a table selecting columns:- LOAN_NO, FINAL_STATUS_05MAY24, FINAL_STATUS_06MAY24, FINAL_STATUS_07MAY24... and so on. If there is any alternate approach for making the selection, please advise me or please help with the given array code.

Hello everyone, I am trying to select alternate columns from my dataset, starting from column number 1 and including every nth alternate column after that. For example, I want to select columns 1, 3, 5, 7, and so on up to column n. Is there a way to make this selection without having to manually specify the column names? Here are my column headers: FINAL_STATUS_01MAY24, FINAL_STATUS_02MAY24, and so on... I would appreciate any help or advice. Thank you!

I would like to delete the folder folderToDelete, which contains subfolders and those folders might contain subfolders, and so on. I do not have permission to do the x command. I have the following code (after looking at the following post Delete folder (directory) and all files in it😞 %macro delete_folder(folderToDelete); data work.FilesToDelete; length Name $ 100; keep Name; rc = filename("folder", "&folderToDelete."); dirId = dopen("folder"); do i = 1 to dnum(dirID); Name = dread(dirId, i); output; end; rc = dclose(dirId); run; data _null_; set work.FilesToDelete end=lastDeleted; put "Deleting " Name; rc = filename("delfile", cats("&folderToDelete./", Name)); rc = fdelete("delfile"); put "del file " rc=; rc = filename("delfile"); if lastDeleted then do; put "Deleting the folder '&folderToDelete.'"; rc = filename("folder", "&folderToDelete."); rc = fdelete("folder"); put "del folder " rc=; rc = filename("folder"); end; run; %mend; However, since my folder contains subfolders, only the tables are delete and not the subfolders, resulting in the main folder not being deleted. In that sense, what I would like was to apply a function recursively to delete every file inside any subfolder (or any other suggestion you might have). As an example, if my folder has the following structure: > folder > subfolder_1 > T_1_1.sas7bdat > T_1_2.sas7bdat > T_1_3.sas7bdat > subsubfolder_1 > T_1_1_1.sas7bdat > subfolder_2 > T_2_1.sas7bdat > T_1.sas7bdat > T_2.sas7bdat > T_3.sas7bdat > T_4.sas7bdat after running the first data step, which reads the folder, I get Name subfolder_1 subfolder_2 T_1.sas7bdat T_2.sas7bdat T_3.sas7bdat T_4.sas7bdat and then in the second data step, only the tables are deleted. However, I would like to delete the entirety of the folder. Can someone help?

I'm currently working on testing the overall Proportional Hazards Assumption for my 5 multiple imputation datasets. My challenge lies in determining the overall p-value of the Supremum Test for Proportional Hazards Assumption. While the test only provides the Maximum Absolute Value and Pr > MaxAbsVal, I'm uncertain about how to derive the overall p-value from proc mianalyze. Could you kindly provide some guidance or insights on how to approach this issue? Any assistance or pointers you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
