Hi,

I need help with the following:

I have one variable (string) in a dataset with variable name Record. eg.

automation:The use of largely automatic equipment in a system of manufacturing or other production process


I need to break it into two variables, namely word (automation), and meaning (everything after colon). Could someone tell me a clean way of doing this in SAS.

Thanks a lot Tarun. I did not know how to use scan (string, -1, "dlm").
