Table A
 
VIN	NAME	DATE
Vin1	Test 1	2011-05-05
Vin1	Test 1	2011-05-10
Vin2	Test 2	2011-05-12
Vin3	Test 3	2011-05-01
Vin6	Test 6	2011-05-10
Vin7	Test 7	2011-05-02
Vin7	Test 7	2011-05-12
.
.
.

Table B
VIN	NAME	DATE	         FLAG
Vin1	Test 1	2011-05-05	1
Vin1	Test 1	2011-05-10	2
Vin2	Test 2	2011-05-12	1
Vin3	Test 3	2011-05-01	2
Vin6	Test 6	2011-05-10	1
Vin7	Test 7	2011-05-02	1
Vin7	Test 7	2011-05-12	2
.

Please, can someoe suggest how I can generate Table B from Table A? That is adding 1s and 2s for all records in the table.

Thanks

As long as the data is already sorted by VIN, NAME, and DATE, this should be easy to do with a DEFINE or COMPUTE:

DEFINE FILE ....
 FLAG/I2 = IF (VIN NE LAST VIN) OR (NAME NE LAST NAME) THEN 1 ELSE (LAST FLAG + 1);
END

Thanks for your suggestion.

But when your logic is applied, it means whenever VIN EQ LAST VIN and NAME EQ LAST NAME, Flag is 2.

Please, how would first row (vin1) have flag =1 and the second(which is same with row 1) have Flag 2.

Again, I think I will prefer a compute.
