Please go back to your original post and provide a meaningful title, one that describes the problem. Since this is the SAS Community, a subject that says "SAS" isn't useful or meaningful. We're trying to help you, but you also have to help us.

Also, your problem description needs a lot more detail and information, and probably a small example would help as well.

I think you are missing a few details here. Like exactly how the length of name is to be used, what is supposed to be created and where any values might come from.

Example of starting data, rules and an example of the data with the rules applied are a good idea.

In a SAS data step you can test the length of a value, the number or characters using the LENGTH function. such as

if length(name) = 20 then do;

end;
