I have written the 'stdid' function using proc fcmp, I have used attrib statement but unfortunately i am getting the warning like "WARNING: The LABEL statement has no effect in a FUNCTION or SUBROUTINE."
I have referred the following SAS site.
proc fcmp outlib=sasuser..study.demo;
function stdid(var1 $) $;
attrib var2 length=$25 format=$upcase9. label='x';
var2=tstrip(var1);
return(var2);
endsub;
run;
That is because inside the function you are only dealing with temporary variables (that will not appear in the step where you call the function), and the output is just a value, with no attributes other than length.
Therefore only the length= has an effect.
It's finally time to hack! Remember to visit the SAS Hacker's Hub regularly for news and updates.
Learn how use the CAT functions in SAS to join values from multiple variables into a single value.
