Hi all,
I have a data set attached with observations that are "ADIN MOUTAIN’" and I would like to change them to "ADIN MOUNTAIN."
Can I use PROC SQL to do this? How do change the observations names without creating a new data set?
A classic use of the Modify Statement.
data SNOWSTATIONSDATA8711;
modify SNOWSTATIONSDATA8711;
if STATIONNAME = "ADIN MOUTAIN" then STATIONNAME="ADIN MOUNTAIN";
run;
A classic use of the Modify Statement.
data SNOWSTATIONSDATA8711;
modify SNOWSTATIONSDATA8711;
if STATIONNAME = "ADIN MOUTAIN" then STATIONNAME="ADIN MOUNTAIN";
run;
Just for completeness, the SQL code:
proc sql;
update snowstationsdata
set stationname = 'ADIN MOUNTAIN'
where stationname = 'ADIN MOUTAIN';
quit;
