Would splitting the NAME into the root and number parts be helpful. I
don't really understand what you want to accomplish.
data work.mayHave;
input root:$8. @@;
do i = 1 to floor(ranuni(1234)*1e2);
name = catx('_',root,i);
output;
end;
keep name;
cards;
OFFER SVA LVA
;;;;
run;
data work.mayNeed;
set work.MayHave;
length root $10;
root = scan(name,1,'_');
n = input(scan(name,2,'_'),f8.);
run;
proc print;
run;
