Im having a character variable with some values, by default the character variable values will get aligned to the "LEFT", but i want the same charater variable values to be aligned "RIGHT".

anyone have solution for this??

Thanks in advance.

Use the appropriate function:

Left()

Right()

If using a report procedure you may need to specify it in the report somehow. Depends on the report and destination most likely.

I'm not using any proc here. I just want the finaldate variable values to be aligned to the right in my dataset itself.

And that's exactly what Reeza was providing to you. Experiment with the functions and you'll see.

The hash OUTPUT method will overwrite a SAS data set, but not append. That can be costly. Consider voting for Add a HASH object method which would append a hash object to an existing SAS data set

Would enabling PROC SORT to simultaneously output multiple datasets be useful? Then vote for
Allow PROC SORT to output multiple datasets
