I have a table like this
data concat;
input name $;
datalines;
a
b
c
d
;
run;
How can I turn values of culomn 'name' into a single string of a, b, c, d
?
Not sure how you want to use it, but one way would be:
data concat;
input name $;
datalines;
a
b
c
d
;
run;
proc sql noprint;
select name
into :string
separated by ","
from concat
;
quit;
%put &string.;

Thanks, It works
Or data step.
data concat; input name $; datalines; a b c d ; run; data want(keep=len); set concat end=last; length len $ 32767; retain len; len=catx(', ',len,name); if last then output; run;
