Answer / richa
It can be done by first sorting the dataset in the
ascending order of salary and then using the 'point='
option.
For eg:
proc sort data = x;
by salary;
quit;
/*second highest salary*/
data y;
a = 2;
set x point = a;
stop;
run;
/*fifth highest salary*/
data y;
a = 5;
set x point = a;
stop;
run;
