Hi, I'm trying to use the LIKE condition to check for LIKE last names, but I can't get it to work. I want it to match for names like Tombleson and Tomblesom, Ng and NG, Olm-Shimpan and Olm Shipman, and Hose Aldana and Aldana. Any suggestions? THANK YOU!
proc sql;
UPDATE RawData
SET Timesheet_Approver = (SELECT Timesheet_Approver
FROM MasterStudent
WHERE MasterStudent.Position__=RawData.PositionNbr
AND MasterStudent.Last_Name like "%" || RawData.Last_Name || "%")
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM MasterStudent
WHERE MasterStudent.Position__= RawData.PositionNbr
AND MasterStudent.Last_Name like "%" || RawData.Last_Name || "%");
quit;
Try the following instead:
=* is sounds like operator
MasterStudent.Last_Name =* RawData.Last_Name
Try the following instead:
=* is sounds like operator
MasterStudent.Last_Name =* RawData.Last_Name
THANK YOU!!!!!
