IN

[luis]

Hi all,
I am new in SAS and I am trying to interpret some codes.
I found the following line:
DBPLANT=X IN (1 3)
I haven't found the explanation for the IN command. Does it means that variable DBPLANT takes value of 1 if X is equal to 1 or 3, or if X is belongs to the closed interval 1 through 3.
Thanks in advance,
Luis

Yes, the operand(s) in parantheses can be separated by a blank or comma. Here is a Google advanced argument against the SAS.COM site which yields some DOC and technical / conference reference matches for reference:

I was able to find the phrase "IN operator" in the SAS 9.1.3 SP4 online documentation for SAS, under INDEX tab.

Hi Luis,

You got it right. It takes the value of 1 if X is equal to 1 or 3.
