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;
2
10
467
8759
23490
341234
A
A2
A33
A444
A5555
A66666
;
run;
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
from test;
run;
/*Program End*/
data test; length customer_id $ 6; infile datalines; input customer_id; new=translate(right(customer_id),'0',' '); datalines; 2 10 467 8759 23490 341234 A A2 A33 A444 A5555 A66666 ; run;
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;
proc sql;
select put(input(customer_id, 6.), z6.) as customer_id_new length = 6
from have;
quit;
data test; length customer_id $ 6; infile datalines; input customer_id; new=translate(right(customer_id),'0',' '); datalines; 2 10 467 8759 23490 341234 A A2 A33 A444 A5555 A66666 ; run;
