SAS assign ID numbers

[newbeesas9]

Hi,
I want to assign unique ID's to a set of numbers. That should start as '00001' and keep on increasing like '00021' etc....

I have tried of assigning intial '000' but not able to make increment like 000010 etc.

How to do this in SAS. Please let me know.

thanks in advance,
newbee

newbeesas9, you want to use the 'z' format... here's an example:

data _null_;
file print;

do i=1 to 10;
strvar = put(i,z5.);
put strvar;
end;
run;

fyi... you can use z6. z7. etc...

Hope this helps!

Cheers

Nick
