Hello,
I need to compare the value of two variables, both of them in character format. Like following example:
data X; set Y;
if Surv_city=city;
run;
As you see, I have two variable, Surv_city and city, in dataset Y, and I just want to keep those observations with the same name of Surv_city and city.However, A problem comes up and the result is zero observation. I think the problem occurs because the names of the city are not in the same form of uppercase and lowercase. How can I fixed this problem?
I greatly appreciate any suggestion.
Please try
data X;
set Y;
if upcase(Surv_city)=upcase(city);
run;
Thanks,
Jag
