I have the following data:
Sports |
11 Foot Ball |
112 Soccer and golf |
2345 basketball |
12 Table tennis |
But I want to keep only the part after the first space. ie:
Sports |
Foot Ball |
Soccer and golf |
basketball |
Table tennis |
How do I go about doing this?
Final_Col in below dataset has the target output.
DATA TEMP;
INPUT Sports $1-35;
Fst_Col= Length(Scan(STRIP(Sports),1));
Final_col= SUBSTR(Sports,Fst_col+1);
DROP Fst_Col;
CARDS;
11 Foot Ball
112 Soccer and golf
2345 basketball
12 Table tennis
