A vector-to-string function for SAS IML A previous article discusses the MakeString function, which you can use to convert an IML character vector into a string. This can be very useful. When I originally wrote the MakeString function, I was disappointed that I could not vectorize the com...
set readin; lastname=scan(text,2,","); proc print; run; Output In the above SAS program, we have created a new variable named 'lastname' which contains last names. How to Convert a String into Multiple Observations? Suppose you have a string that consists of multiple substrings delimite...
A new ODS statement enables you to render multiple ODS output formats without re-running a PROC or a DATA step. See theSAS Output Delivery System: User's Guide. Note: This section describes the features of Base SAS that are new or enhanced since SAS 8.2. ...
This function computes the number of words in a string. To obtain each of the variable names, you use the %SCAN macro function. This functions works in the same way as the regular non-macro SCAN function. The first argument is the list of variable names. The second argument specifies ...
a single device, the data format is known (which invalidates the “variety” requirement, at least for isolated device transmission). But in general practice, you have to normalize multiple formats when applications process more than one stream of data to answer questions. The...
Here's a question we often see from new SAS users: when I combine two data sets with a common-named column, why does the resulting data set seem to cut the length short on the shared column? In other words, when combining SAS data sets that have same-named columns, how does SAS dec...
