Hello:

 

Could someone let me know what are the ‘kd’, ‘ka’,’a’, ‘d’, ‘A’, ‘D’ referring to? Is 'a' the same as 'A' and 'd' the same as 'D'? Thanks.

 

names=cats(compress(names,"_","ka"),compress(names,"_","kd"));

names=cats(compress(names,"_","d"), compress(names,"_","a"));

num=compress(name,'_','A');                                                        

name2=compress(name,' ','D');

Have you tried highlighting the function and pressing the F1 key?

If you have the online help installed that should bring up the online help for the function.

--------------------------
The hash OUTPUT method will overwrite a SAS data set, but not append. That can be costly. Consider voting for Add a HASH object method which would append a hash object to an existing SAS data set

Would enabling PROC SORT to simultaneously output multiple datasets be useful? Then vote for
Allow PROC SORT to output multiple datasets
