Hi,
I am working on the health dataset and try to add a '0' value within all the ID number.
such as
original ID New ID
110011001 1100110001
110012001 1100120001
......
I want to know whether it has a syntax regarding to this.
data have;
length x $ 20;
x='110011001';
y=substr(x,1,6)||'0'||substr(x,7);
run;
On top of the suggestion by @Ksharp ...
