I am trying to convert a numeric variable eg 123654 to character. i used this code data CDCDATA.Finaldata_CDC_ptid;set CDCDATA.Finaldata_CDC;patientid = put(cl_patientid,8.);run; th slog says; /*Reformating numeric Patient ID to Character format*/data CDCDATA.Finaldata_CDC_ptid;set...
At the conclusion of many survey-based data collecting projects, recoding the hundreds and thousands of character vari- ables to `reserved scale' specified numeric variables is a uncomplicated but cumbersome task for SAS○R programmers. If you are a person who likes to avoid a large amount of ...

It seems absurdly obvious, but we need to say it: all SAS and SPSS procedures accept variables as input. Of course, you have to learn that putting a character variable in where a numeric one is expected causes an error. Occasionally, a character variable contains numbers and we must ...
Hi SAS Community, You've got a newbie in the building when it comes to SQL, so please be gentle as to date I have been using EG in anything I've been carrying out. I've been told that I have a really simple piece of existing code that can just be ran without issue, but it's...
SCC should have been as character to begin with. You can get into precision of storage with long numeric values and 17 digits is an indicator that you may not actually have the values that you need as 16 digits is generally the precision SAS has available. 1 Like Gladis6680 Obsidian | ...
