I want to remove leading zero and trailing zero, so I want to modify my variable by doing below:
var2 = strip(var1,'0');
I got the error message:
The STRIP function call has too many arguments.
anybody helps to solve this?
thanks
Unfortunately STRIP() does not have that function. For details, please refer strip function
For your problems, you can either try using a combination of multiple functions/multiple steps, Or using PRX function in one shot:
DATA HAVE;
INPUT STR $20.;
CARDS;
0012200
00023
22000
200340
;
DATA WANT;
SET HAVE;
NEW_STR=PRXCHANGE('s/^ *0*|0* *$//io', -1, str);
run;
