I am trying to figure out how to change character value labels to numeric values.
For example:
"ABCDEF"=1
"GHIJKL"=2
MNOPQR=3
STUVWX=4
"YZ"=5
I know how to do it in the reverse (numeric to character) using proc format. I attempted to use the same method but maybe I am just using the incorrect syntax??? Suggestions please
Like this?
proc format;
invalue read
"ABCDEF"=1
"GHIJKL"=2
'MNOPQR'=3
'STUVWX'=4
"YZ" =5 ;
data T;
NUM=input('YZ',read.);
run;
NUM=5
