Ignoring zip codes which include letters

Posted 06-27-2014 07:47 AM (351 views)

Hi,

I have a data which needs a lot of cleaning. One of the issue is that some of the zip codes include a letter for example 606NZ.

How can I tell SAS to ignore those but keep the proper ones such as 60457.

Thank you
