Hello,

I need to swap "sql like" function for a similar one on the "data step if clause".

Ex.:
proc sql;
select
case
when descr_job like '%DOC%' then 'Doctor'
else ''
end as group
from employees

Ex.:
data new_employees;
set employees;

if descr_job like '%DOC%' then group = 'Doctor';
else group = '';
run;

Obs.: This data step don't work in SAS 8.2.

What fuction can i use in this case?

Do you not have access to SAS Documentation? Consider the INDEX function.
