PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE work.test
AS SELECT DISTINCT TRIM(acct_ID) || " " || TRIM(acct_num) AS CUST_ID
FROM work.test_account
ORDER BY CUST_ID;
QUIT;
Basically i am trying to trim the account_id and account num and concatenate with a space in between them.
How can I do it through PROC sql?
Here you go:
data have;
infile cards dsd dlm=',';
input one two;
cards;
500,600
200,100
;
run;
proc sql;
create table want as
select distinct *, cat(one,' ',two) as cust_id
from have;
If it's all characters try this:
data have;
infile cards dsd dlm=',';
input one $ two $;
cards;
500 , 600
200 , 100
;
run;
proc sql;
create table want as
select distinct *, cat(strip(one),' ',strip(two)) as cust_id
from have;
PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE work.test
AS SELECT catx(' ', DISTINCT acct_ID,acct_num) AS CUST_ID
FROM work.test_account
ORDER BY CUST_ID;
QUIT;
Thanks much...
