Hi,

This might be very simple but I will like to find the median (IQR) of an age variable. The age variable is in character format and the code is three digits. Here is an example:

data have;
input Age $;
datalines;
042
043
055
035
065
066
070
098
;
run;

I thought about removing the 0 before converting data to numeric but I don't know how. Is this a meaning idea ?
