RTDM/BRM functions

[YuriGut]

Hi All

I got character object ( <FlagsList> ) that look like this  (,701,803,555,523)  all i want, it's to exclude particular number and comma for examle <<,701>>  or multipal chose of numbers like <<,701,555>>

I try to find some RTDM function  like COMPRESS or TRIM and used them different ways

All my results were  like exclude of digits and not complete number

like COMPRESS (FlagsList , ',701')  gave me (83 555 523)

Some Help Please

You can do something like this

data have;
string="(,701,803,555,523)";
newstring=tranwrd(string, ",701", "");
run;

Hello,

have you already tried a combination of the following functions:

1. CAT(string, string, ...): it concatenates the argument of the function;

2. SUBSTR(string, position, length): it returns a substring;

3. INDEX(source, excerpt): it searches the source for the character string specified by the excerpt. It returns the position of the source into the excerpt;

4. LENGTHC(string): it returns the length of a string.
