Is there an easy way to crosstab values to variables?

[nixon1000000]

Is there an easy way with a SAS data set to take the values from one variable and make them variables containing a value from a second variable? Similar to a what a crosstab query does in MS Access.

The set I am working on has basically 3 variables now:
An identifier, an attribute name, and a value.
There are about 100 different attribute names. What I would like to end up with is a flattened data set with the identifierand the 100 different attribute names as variables with the correct values that correspond to these attributes.

Thanks.

Have you looked at PROC TRANSPOSE?
