Can someone please tell why Division has length of 9 in the below code?

[pjpnk]

data names;
    title='EDU';
    if title='EDU' then
        Division='Education';
    else if title='HR' then
        Division='Human Resources';
    else Division='Unknown';
run;

When I ran proc content for this code I get the length of 9 for Division variable but by default, it should have 8 isn't it?

Any help would be highly appreciated

I suggest you count the number of letters in the string Education more carefully as this is what defines the length of Division:

Division='Education'

the first occurence div got is education and hence the length is 9.
