hi all i have a name column where there are names of people who have opened a account in the respective bank.i would like to add a column where if people have added two names separated by comma or & to recognise them as joint account holders
please guide me to do this in sas dataflux
You can do this in an expression node. Assuming the account name field is named input_name:
/*Pre Expression */
string account_name_1
string account_name_2
hidden integer cnt
cnt = 0
/*Expression*/
if instr(`input_name`, ',') > 0 or instr(`input_name`, '&') > 0
begin
if instr(`input_name`, ',') > 0
cnt = parse(`input_name`, ',', account_name_1, account_name_2)
else
cnt = parse(`input_name`, '&', account_name_1, account_name_2)
end
else
begin
account_name_1 = `input_name`
account_name_2 = null
end
account_name_1 = trim(account_name_1)
account_name_2 = trim(account_name_2)
