data test;
   input name $;
   datalines; 
argen
lehm;
run; 

	data TITOLI_&DATA.  ;
set DIPO.CHECK_&FILE._&DATA.;
    if prxmatch( test 'i', EVENTO_DESC_1) > 0;
run;

1) Le parole da cercare sono in 'test' e le devo cercare nel DB 'DIPO. CHECK_&FILE._&DATI.'
2) Le parole sono da cercare nella colonna 'EVENTO_DESC_1' che fa parte del DB 'DIPO. CHECK_&FILE._&DATI.'
3) Le parole uguali o simili a quelle contenute in 'test'

Grazie!!!!!

But is you are searching for text strings investigate INDEXW function.
