Hi ,
I have a field with numeric values 22,23,24 in Best12. format. I am recategorizing this variable and giving it a text value i.e.
if value=22 then value_new='yes';
else if value in (23,24) then value_new='no';
I am not sure why I am getting this message? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks for your reply. I figured it. It worked when I assigned a length statement for the new variable.
SAS log gives more information than you do. Where exactly have character values been converted to numeric? Please post the log, with a bit of context.
