How can I remove the space before the "n" in the variable y1.
data x;
y='Provider Name ';
y1=catq('1T',y,'n');
put y= y1=;
run;
Are you trying to make a name literal. There is a function for that.
45 data _null_;
46 y='Provider Name ';
47 y1=catq('1T',y,'n');
48 nl = nliteral(y);
49 put y= y1= nl=;
50 run;
y=Provider Name y1='Provider Name' n nl="Provider Name"N
From the documentation of the CATQ function:
If you do not use the C, D, or H modifiers, CATQ uses a blank as a delimiter.
