Hello

I am trying to create a dataset from an existing dataset.

The current dataset has a variable called id_code. The id_code is a string of length 10 characters. I need to extract the 2 left most characters and based on whether it is a 01 assign "temp" and if 02 assign "non-temp".

I have to repeat this process till the end of the dataset that has around 350 observations.

Could anyone help me with the code for this.

Thanks

This is basic DATA step IF THEN ; logic.

Have a look at the SAS-hosted DOC and supplemental references on their SAS.COM support website - links revealed with search below. Then come back to the forum again with code challenges/issues -- suggest using the SAS diagnostic code below to reveal much info:
