Hello, I am wanting to separate the FIPs code into just state and county number. Any advice?
Shown below is what I am wanting
What I have | What I want | |
FIPS | State | County |
5017 | 5 | 17 |
5041 | 5 | 41 |
20107 | 20 | 107 |
46097 | 46 | 97 |
Are those numbers?
data want;
set have;
state = int(fips/1000);
county = mod(fips,1000);
run;
Or strings?
data want;
set have;
state=put(int(input(fips,32.)/100),Z2.);
county=put(mod(input(fips,32.),100),Z3.);
run;
Is your current FIPS variable numeric or character? Do you want character or numeric State and County? If character do you want the leading 0 that should be present to avoid confusion?
