Hello,
I have a variable of ID numbers (0001) and there needs to be an A before all of the numbers
i.e. I have a variable ID: 0001 and I want it to be A0001. There needs to be an A before all of the numbers in the column
I'm sure it's an easy thing but I can't figure it out!
Please help!!
Thanks
Concatenate -->cats('A',your_variable)
Concatenate -->cats('A',your_variable)
If your variable is already defined as $ 4, you will need to expand the length to hold an additional character. For example:
data want;
length ID $ 5;
set have;
id = 'A' || id;
run;
