For example, one observation says J,DN (L,FM) and I would like for it to say DNJ (FML). There are some where there is a - for the middle initial, and I would still like to keep the dash. So M,T- would read as T-M. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!&nbsp;</P> Thu, 10 Dec 2020 15:11:04 GMT traciplummer 2020-12-10T15:11:04Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/New-SAS-User/How-to-put-initials-in-FML-format/m-p/695778#M25209 <P>Hello all,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I need to manipulate my data so it appears as FML (First Middle Last initials).
