Hi,
I want to take all records with word "Income" in column Item . And the below code somehow fail! SAS return no record for data Want
data Want; set Have;
if Index(item,"Income")=1 ; run;
So I take a row full value ("42700 · Consulting Income") and try to see if SAS work with full value. And SAS correctly pick the row as code below:
data check1; set PL;
if Index(item,"42700 · Consulting Income")=1 ; run;
Can anyone help me to correct my original code?
Is that caused by the little dot in the string?
Thanks
HC
One means it sees the only in starting position, so change it to greater than zero, it can find value anywhere
if Index(item,"Income")>0
