Hello, 

Is there any efficient way to pick up the characters ICD 9/ICD 10 codes, rang from 140-161 , 200-2093 , C45-C76, from diangosis code ?

Thank you,

Couldn't you just use something like?:

data want;
  set have;
  if ('140' <=: diag <=: '161') or
     ('200' <=: diag <=: '2093') or
     ('C45' <=: diag <=: 'C76');
run;
