Hello team,
I have the code below:
I want to know why this part: trim(put(mbrDes,$CON.)) equals to DSS, it doesn't get equal to whole string.
The code below doesn't generate errors:
proc format; values $CON 'b' = 'DSS- PP' Run; Data want (Keep = mbrDes); format LineofBu $60. system $5; set have; LineofBu =trim(put(mbrDes,$CON.)); if LineofBu =: 'DSS' Then system = 'DSS'; run;
Regards,

The semicolon after the = sign in this line of code
if LineofBu =: 'DSS' Then system = 'DSS';
indicates that the test checks to see if the value of LineofBu starts with DSS (it does not test if the entire string is equal to DSS)

FYI - your code as posted does generate errors for me - there are three syntax errors in your code.
