I am trying to convert char to numerci from original data set.
data census.numeric;
set census.rough;
VEHn=input(VEH,1.);
HFLn=input(HFL,1.);
run;
It works as well. Just want to check, if we can in some way associate some info about the new variables that we create so that when i do a proc contents on the new data ser the new variables also have some info about them.
Now there is no info about what they are since i replaced the original with these new ones.
I guess you want to add labels to the new variables ?!
data census.numeric;
set census.rough;
VEHn=input(VEH,1.);
HFLn=input(HFL,1.);
LABEL
VEHn = ' your info for this var '
HFLn = ' your info for this var'
;
run;
