Is there any way to manipulate a series over a specified sample period without issuing a separate smpl command?

For example, in other software packages I have worked with it is possible to write something like

series 2017Q1 2017Q2 sersx = 25
series 2017Q3 2017Q3 sersx = 30
series 2017Q4 2017Q4 sersx = 40

to create sersx for 2017Q1-17Q4 as
25, 25, 30, 40

Thanks

Hello,

Avoiding the use of smpl or sample objects, when you're assigning values to sequential observations the series fill proc is useful, e.g.:

His is better than mine.

Thanks for the quick and useful replies.
