hello,
i have a column with type numeric , how can i change the type to character or alphanumeric ?
Thank you
I think the CAS thing will run regular SAS code:
data table1;
input mynumvar 1.;
datalines;
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
;
run;
*mynumvar is numeric- best 12;
data table1;
set table1;
mynumvar_hold = put(mynumvar,1.);
drop mynumvar;
rename mynumvar_hold = mynumvar;
label mynumvar_hold = 'mynumvar';
run;
*mynumvar is character $1;
