Hello Experts,
I have the data like this : LM7613369000000091800505984.
I would like to have the 11 last caracters.
My code is
NO1=substr(Num,11,-1)
But it doesn't work.
Could you help me please ?
Thank you !
Do this
data _null_;
str = "LM7613369000000091800505984";
last11 = substr(str, length(str)-10);
put last11 =;
run;
Result:
last11=91800505984
Do this
data _null_;
str = "LM7613369000000091800505984";
last11 = substr(str, length(str)-10);
put last11 =;
run;
Result:
last11=91800505984
Doesn't work is awful vague.
Are there errors in the log?: Post the code and log in a code box opened with the <> to maintain formatting of error messages.
No output? Post any log in a code box.
Unexpected output? Provide input data in the form of data step code pasted into a code box, the actual results and the expected results. Instructions here: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/How-to-create-a-data-step-version-of-your-dat... will show how to turn an existing SAS data set into data step code that can be pasted into a forum code box using the <> icon or attached as text to show exactly what you have and that we can test code against.
Consider this example:
data example; x='LM7613369000000091800505984'; y=substr(x,length(x)-10); run;
And think about why -10 yields 11 characters.
