I have the following data:
a b c
nrename test1.nm7 0test1.nm7
nrename test2.nm7 1test2.nm7
nrename test3.nm7 0test3.nm7
What type of keep statement do I need that will allow me to keep only those rows which contain 1testi.nm7?
I plan to handle the i with a do loop but not sure how to keep a character statement.
I saw a post that gave the statement ,if sym_suffix in ('A', ' ');
When I tried
data new;
SET NEWB;
if prefix in (1, ' ');
run;
data have;
input (a b c) (:$10.);
cards;
nrename test1.nm7 0test1.nm7
nrename test2.nm7 1test2.nm7
nrename test3.nm7 0test3.nm7
;
data want;
set have;
array t b--c;
do over t;
if first(t) in (' ', '1') then f=1;
end;
if f;
drop f;
run;
array t b--c;
This means we are grouping variables starting from b and anything between b and c, including c. HTH
