Hi ,
I want to substring the alphanumeric string
example 00000031700ALLISON S00001
which are of different length. I just need to extract the substring starting with first character that is ALLISON S00001.
so the result of substring from
00000031700ALLISON S00001
is below
ALLISON S00001
Here is one way:
data have; informat string $80.; input string &; want=substr(string,anyalpha(string)); cards; 00000031700ALLISON S00001 ;
