[Mike_Davis]

Hello everyone,

Please advise on create dataset two base on dataset one.

finally make all the value with 7 digit, use '0' to fill the left rest part.

Thanks!

If you really have numbers then you can use SAS formats.

data two ;

  set one;

  x=put(input(x,7.),z7.);

  y=put(input(y,7.),z7.);

run;

If you want to change the spaces to zeros and the values aren't really numbers then you might use translate function.

data two ;

   length x y $7.;

  set one;

  x=translate(right(x),'0',' ');

  y=translate(right(y),'0',' ');

run;
