Target Variables with more than two categories

 I am new to SAS Enterprise Miner. I would like to know if a categorical target variable with multiple categories can be combined to create just 2 (binary) categories in SAS Enterprise Miner,

Hello,

Things like that I would do upfront in data step. Then use the new table (with new binary var) to start from.

Otherwise , one of the ways is using "Replacement node".
