I have a list of over 200 ICD-10 codes and was recommended to use the substr function in SAS to capture all of them ex format. S020XXA and S020XXB
I have seen examples where the substr function helps flag the first few characters but how do I use this function to also include the "A" and "B" at the end of my ICD-10 code? I have included some of the icd10 codes needed here for reference:
S02101A |
S02101B |
S02102A |
S02102B |
S02109A |
S02109B |
S0210XA |
S0210XB |
S02110A |
S02110B |
S02111A |
S02111B |
S02112A |
S02112B |
S02113A |
S02113B |
S02118A |
Here's an example of using SUBSTR to also check for "A" or "B" as the last character:
if /* some conditions */ and substr(icd10, length(icd10) in "A", "B");
Since you're specifically asking about the last character, I omitted any logic that would check the earlier characters.
