Just getting started-Need help formatting

kjb44 — Wed, 11 Oct 2017 21:48:52 GMT

I just imported my data set into SAS for the first time. I have a gender variable with a simple M or F entry. Some of my entries however are m and f and I simply want to change them to M and F.

I imagine this is probably ridiculously simple, but even after googling it I seem to be having a problem with my syntax.

Would anyone have a second to help me out.

Thanks in advance.

UPCASE() function

data class;
set sashelp.class;
sex = lowcase(sex);
sex_Upper = upcase(sex);
run;
