Hi Experts,
I am trying to extract the list of SAS program names from a dataset, i have hundreds of them and the special chars are present at
for example
/xxxx/abcde/abcdefgh.sas
/xxxx/abcde/lkml/abcdefguh.sas
/xxxx/abcde/lkml555/abguh.sas
I am trying to get the output as
abcdefgh.sas
abcdefguh.sas

Hi
The SCAN function can help you with that, see example below.
data want;
infile cards;
input
pgmname : $256.
;
justPgm = scan(pgmname, -1, "/");
cards;
/xxxx/abcde/abcdefgh.sas
/xxxx/abcde/lkml/abcdefguh.sas
/xxxx/abcde/lkml555/abguh.sas
;
check the doc for more details.
