Hi Reader,

 

I have to add leading zero in alpha numberic data. Also I am sharing my code mentioned below as I am not statisfied with the solution.

 

So is there any function/call/macro where i can get "customer_id_new" data ?

 

Thank you in Advance.Take care!

data test;
length customer_id $ 6;
infile datalines;
input customer_id;
datalines;

proc sql;
select
(case
when length(customer_id) = 6 then customer_id
else repeat('0',6-length(customer_id)-1)||customer_id
end)
as customer_id_new length 6

Using a data-step:

data want;
   set test;
   
   length newID $ 6;
   
   newID = repeat('0', 5);
   substr(NewID, 6-lengthn(customer_id)+1) = trim(customer_ID);
run;
