Hi,
I need to remove the provider ID with 13 characters except for the provider type ‘PCP’
ID Type
123456789_123 PCP
123456345_124 BCP
123456541_123 RCP
124534789_12 YUP
Wanted Data:
ID Type
123456789_123 PCP
124534789_12 YUP
The ‘-‘ should be counted as a character.
Thanks in advance.
data want; set have; if length(ID) ne 13 or Type eq 'PCP'; run;

Use the LENGTH() function to determine the length of a string and then you can use an IF statement to keep/delete records as necessary. You can use DELETE to delete records.
*quick example of DELETE;
data demo;
set sashelp.class;
if age=13 then delete;
run;
If you're having trouble building that statement please post your code.
