4
ouput needed;
OBS DTF
1
2 D
3 M
4
I am getting the output I need except fourth OBS. For the fourth OBS I am getting "M"
Which modifier I need to use when the date value is blank to get the output. Please help. Thanks.
M?
I have tested it. You can do:
if not missing(date) then
dtf = choosec(countw(date,'-'),'m','d',' ');
