Conditionally Add a character to a variable

Hello,

I am new SAS and still learning, I have a set of IDS and I need to add a leading character to only ones that do not start with other prefix.

In other words, I have a data like this and I want it to be:

1 samplnew-1

2 samplnew-2

3 samplnew-3

4 samplnew-4

sampl-1 sampl-1

sampl-2 sampl-2

sampl-3 sampl-3

sampl-4 sampl-4

Thank you

You can use ANYALPHA() to test for the presence of any alphabetical categories within an IF/THEN statement.
