Tranwrd : Replacing in all columns

[SASdevAnneMarie]

Hello Experts,

Do you know please ho to replace all "."  in all columns by the ",".

I run this code, but I have no columns in my data result :

array Var _character_;
            do over Var;
            Var=tranwrd(Var,'.',',');
            end;

 Thank you for your help !

Please post the complete log of the step you used.

The code snippet you've posted is syntactically correct and should work ...as long as you run it AFTER the location in the data step where the character variables of interest get created during the compilation phase (i.e. after a set, merge, attrib etc. statement).

That will not create zero variables.  It won't create ANYTHING at all. 

You need to include that code in a DATA step.

data want;
  set have;
  array Var _character_;
  do over Var;
    Var=tranwrd(Var,'.',',');
  end;
run;
