Hi All,

 

Thank you for looking into this.

Need a quick help. I am using Proc Means, where I need to filter only the variable that have countries listed in (H)..That is I need only afghanistan and china. There are more than 50 countries listed.

 

ex..Variable Name: bbk_country

      Algeria

      Afghanistan(H)

      China(H)

      US

      Nigeria

 

proc  means data=Test.Country(where=(bbk_country in ('(H)')));

class bbk_country;

var amount;

run;

 

 

Thanks!

IN in SAS is an operator and allows you to search for multiple values. You need to search your string and the appropriate functions for that are FIND/INDEX or LIKE. 

 

Example of IN

 

where country in ('Afghanistan', 'China');

Example of FIND

 

where find(country, '(H)')>0;

You may be more limited using the dataset option where than a separate where clause.

 

You can use functions in a WHERE statement such as:

proc means data=Test.Country ;

where find(bbk_country,'(H)','i')>0;

 

 

which would find (H) or (h) with the 'i' option.

You can try like this if you only want to filter countries that are listed with (H)

 

proc  means data=Test.Country(where=(bbk_country like '%(H)'));

class bbk_country;

var amount;

run;
