When converting a string to a numeric value, note the encoding of the string. When the string is a single-byte encoding, DS2 translates the value to a TKChar (UCS-2 or UCS-4) for conversion. The longer the string, the longer the time it takes to do the conversion....

One of the first lessons that SAS(R) programmers learn on the job is that numeric and character variables do not play well together, and that type mismatches are one of the more common source of errors in their-otherwise flawless-SAS programs. Luckily, converting variables from one type to ...
However, I really, really can't understand why you would want to convert all your numeric variables to character variables. Many SAS procedures need for variables to be numeric in order to perform analysis. You can't get the MEAN or the MAX of a character value from PROC MEANS, fo...
