cards;
*some/ WHERE
*every* THING
*no* BODY
;
proc print data=afewords;run;
proc sql;
select trim(both '*' from word1) from afewords;
quit;
proc sql;
select trim(leading '*' from word1) from afewords;
quit;
proc sql;
select trim(trailing '*' from word1) from afewords;
quit;
Wrong proc! The function you are trying to use is part of proc fedql. For, example, try the following:
data afewords;
input Word1$ Word2$ ;
cards;
*some/ WHERE
*every* THING
*no* BODY
;
proc print data=afewords;
run;
proc fedsql;
select trim(both '*' from strip(word1))
from afewords
;
quit;
proc fedsql;
select trim(leading '*' from strip(word1))
from afewords
;
quit;
proc fedsql;
select trim(trailing '*' from strip(word1))
from afewords
;
quit;
