Does "infra" vs. "INFRA" make a difference?  One possibility:

 

data want;

set have;

if index(upcase(name), "INFRA") = 0;

run;

No it does not matter. 

however the program does not work. what I want is to delete rows containing the string "infra"

PROC Star

So why do you say it does not work?

input id name & $20.;
cards;
1 don infra
2 waw 
3 sik infra
4 dfh
;

data want;
set have;
if not ^^findw(name,'infra',' ','i');
