I have an ID variable $10.. In this variable, some candidates' ID is 9 numbers, while some other candidates' ID is 7 numbers. Picture below is an example. How can I separate the candidates into two groups, i.e. one group with 9 number ID, and the other group with 7 number ID. Thanks much for the help!
For example, the following code will store the length of the id in the group variable, allowing you to group them.
data want;
set have;
group=length(id);
end;
