Good day.

I am operating with version 9.04 and without SAS/STATS.

The following source code:

data work.Metal_Conc (keep=Element Concentration Lab_SampleID);
				set all;
				first_numterm=(Conc_Flush*&UI_CRV2MFPV_TransVol_Meas.);
				second_numterm=((10**6)/fi)*COL1;
				third_numterm=6712*heel_conc;
				denominator=6712+&UI_CRV2MFPV_TransVol_Meas.;
				Concentration=(first_numterm+second_numterm+third_numterm)/denominator;
				Lab_SampleID= 'L000'||_n_ ;
		run;

results in output:

 

Element Concentration Lab_SampleID 
Al 38687.24 L000 1 
B 49763.01 L000 2 
Ca 23036.29 L000 3 
Cl 37280.94 L000 4 
Fe 17333.57 L000 5 
Li 8598.14 L000 6 
Mg 4770.01 L000 7 
Na 350033.08 L000 8 
S 5849.44 L000 9 
Si 145292.48 L000 10 
Ti 15622.81 L000 11 
Zn 10333.94 L000 12 
Zr 8970.83 L000 13 

I would like to remove the space in Lab_SampleID

 

 

Thank you,

 

Jane
