Hello,

I am tying to change the name of the each region on the following dataset:

I have wrote very simpe data step in sas:

data changName;
set data.region;
if region="STATE" then region="Missouri";
if region="EASTERN" then region="Eastern District";
if region="CENTRAL" then region="Central District";
if region="SOUTHWEST" then region="South Western District";
if region="SOUTHEAST" then region="South Eastern District";
if region="NORTHWEST" then region="North Western District";
run;

but what I got from this code is:

as you can see it does not show the entire strings!

I would really be appriciate if someone help me with this.

Thank you.

Make variable Region larger. Insert length region $24; before the set statement.
