Hi ,

I have a field with numeric values 22,23,24 in Best12. format. I am recategorizing this variable and giving it a text value i.e.

if value=22 then value_new='yes';

else if value in (23,24) then value_new='no';

I am not sure why I am getting this message? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

SAS log gives more information than you do. Where exactly have character values been converted to numeric? Please post the log, with a bit of context.

Thanks for your reply. I figured it. It worked when I assigned a length statement for the new variable.
