In the following list of values, I have to display the values in the Output only if the value has two underscores. I would like to tackle the condition using WHERE clause.
TBL |
INS_CON_GRP |
INS_GRT |
INS |
H_EAL_YE_A |
INS_CON_GROUP |
Desired Output is,
TBL |
INS_CON_GRP |
INS_CON_GROUP |
Use the Countc Function like this
data have;
input TBL $20.;
datalines;
INS_CON_GRP
INS_GRT
INS
H_EAL_YE_A
INS_CON_GROUP
;
data want;
set have;
where countc(TBL, '_') = 2;
run;
Result:
TBL INS_CON_GRP INS_CON_GROUP
