carriage return within a variable - help PLEASE

msecic — Sun, 28 Jun 2015 11:26:04 GMT

I'm trying to create an Adverse Event variable that is a concatonation of the AE term, the Preferred term, and The SOC term, but I want a carriage-return with an indent for each of the terms.

For example, I want it to look like this the in the PROC REPORT:

Adverse Event

__________________________

AETERM

PTTERM

SOCTERM

I think something like the following will work:

if (aeterm ne ' ') then aeevent = trim(aeterm) ||

'|R"\par\li250 "' ||

trim(ptterm) ||

'|R"\par\b0\li500 "' ||

trim(socterm) ;

But I only get this, for examplernrn:

URI|R"\par\li250 "UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTION|R"\par\b0\li500 "INFECTIONS AND INFESTATIONS

PLEASE HELP

Use ODS escapechar , if You like.

ods escapechar='~';

if (aeterm ne ' ') then aeevent = trim(aeterm) ||

'~n~_~_' ||

trim(ptterm) ||

'~n~_~_~_~_' ||

trim(socterm) ;
