Hello Experts,
My data in column CODE_P
is :
Z56
Z98
Z9
B1
JK.
I would like to have only the data with Z. How to write this condition with Prxmatch function please (to hold all data starting with Z) ?
My actual code is :
if prxmatch("m/Z/oi",CODE_P)>0 then do;
This code works well, but I would like to add the condition "on first position". Thank you !
Hello @SASdevAnneMarie,
Insert the "^" sign before the "Z":
if prxmatch("m/^Z/oi",CODE_P)>0 then do;
But for a simple criterion like this I would rather avoid the slow PRX functions and use something like
if upcase(code_p)=:'Z' then do;
