Hi all..
Is it possible to enter a text in a numaric variable with out changing that variable into character variable???
There are 2 ways I can think of to have text showing in a numeric field.
Hi,
no, this isn't possible.
If you want to combine a numeric value with a text, you have to generate a second (character) variable.
For example:
data test;
length b $ 20;
a=1;
b=cats(a,'test');
run;
proc fsview; run;
Hope, this helps.
