data TITOLI_&DATA. ;
set DIPO.CHECK_&FILE._&DATA. ;
IF find(EVENTO_DESC_1,"argen","lehm","i") GE 1;
run;

ciao a tutti, non riesco a far cercare due parole ("argen" e "lehm"), con una sola ho il risultato. Ho provato in tutti i modi, avete un seggerimento?

It is easier to search for multiple string using PRX functions like this

 

data temp;
    set sashelp.cars;
    if prxmatch('/audi|acura|volvo/i', make) > 0;
run;

al posto delle variabili posso inserire il nome di una tabella che contiene le variabili?

No. That's an entirely different problem 🙂

 

But describe your problem in detail please. I'll see what I can do

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;

Vorrei inserire tutte le parole da ricercare in una tabella e chiedere a SAS di cercare quelle parole o simili nel DB

A few questions:

 

  1. You say in the DB. Is this an actual data base or a SAS library?
  2. Should we search for the list of words in all columns in all tables in the DB?
  3. How similar is similar?

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