Hello,
I have identified an error in within an address field and want to remove it.
Within an address field 'address_1' there is occassionally an error ' -- Please Select -- ' written within it. Is there a way to remove this phase from the address field?
thanks
Sally
Like this?
data HAVE;
ADDRESS_1= ' foo -- Please Select -- faa ';
ADDRESS_1=tranwrd(ADDRESS_1,'-- Please Select --','');
putlog ADDRESS_1=;
run;
ADDRESS_1=foo faa
May be something like this
data abc; input addr_ln_1 $50.; datalines; -- Please Select --1121 berkeley street 7755 cambridge ave ; run; data bde; set abc; addr_ln_1=tranwrd(addr_ln_1,'-- Please Select --',''); run;
