I am trying to create a dummy variable that signals to me if a certain number sequence is found in a variable. So i have the "Variable" field, and am trying to create the "In Sequence" field (dummy can be yes/no or 1/1 either works for me.
EXAMPLE: Does variable include 830 ?
Variable In Sequence?
LPAR0198308 YES
TRAE8307028 YES
MK109362791 NO
P01823974830 YES
WQTUAR2930 NO
I am using SAS EG 7.1
The INDEX function works here. One possibility:
in_sequence = (index(variable, '830') > 0);

That worked! Thanks!
