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 ...

【Converting Variables】 character转化为numeric: newvar=INPUT(oldvar,informat) 就行INPUT语句中使用informat一样,INPUT函数中使用informat,且informat必须是oldvar的输入格式,converting to的numeric data type默认为8个字符。 numeric转化为character: newvar=PUT(oldvar,format) ...
这是因为你的合并变量在两个来源数据集中定义的类型不一致，一个是字符型，另外一个是数值型。需要重新定义类型，比如说用format语句。
Let's start with some definitions related to columns. Length: The columnlength, in SAS terms, is the amount of storage allocated in the data set to hold the column values. The length is specified in bytes. For numeric columns, the valid lengths are usually 3 through 8. The longer the ...
