Hello
I would like to remove the character located a the Second position of a string in the character variable IDCODE.
Do you know how to do that ?
Thank you.
data class;
set sashelp.class (keep=name);
newname=cats(substr(name,1,1),substr(name,3));
run;

newname=cats(substr(name,1,1),substr(name,3));
run;
Maybe something like:
idcode = cats(first(idcode), substr(idcode, 3));
