Hello everybody.
I would like to make 100 string variables card1-card100 so that card1=001... card10=010...card100=100.
Ideally a function that justifies right 'i' with '0' as fiiler character should be used. I tried right() but couldn't make it work.
What I then tried was
array card{100} card1-card100; do i=1 to 100; if i in (1:9) then card{i}='00'||i; if i in (10:99) then card{i}='0'||i; if i=100 then card{i}='100'; end;
but this won't work either.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I am on SAS 9.4
data; array card{100} $3 card1-card100; do i = 1 to 100; card{i} = put(i, z3.); put card{i}; end; run;
Use the Zw.d format.
Hi Tim.
I use
array card{100} card1-card100; do i=1 to 100; card{i}=put(i,z3.); end;
but it gives card1=1, card2=2, ..., card100=100,
not card1=001, card2=002, ..., card100=100,
data; array card{100} $3 card1-card100; do i = 1 to 100; card{i} = put(i, z3.); put card{i}; end; run;
Thanks again Tim.
It even worked as
array card{100} $ card1-card100; do i=1 to 100; card{i}=put(i,z3.); end;
$ was the missing part..
Kind regards.
