Hello ,
i have a column (caracter) i want to do like this :
data x;
set x;
if length code < 5 then;
concat (code, 0);
the idea is to add 0 to column code when its length is inferior to 5, do you have suggestions how to do that ?
thank you
data have;
input code $;
datalines;
a
ab
abc
abcd
abcde
abcdef
abcdefg
;
data want;
set have;
if length(code) < 5 then code = cats('0', code);
run;
data have;
input code $;
datalines;

abcd
abcde
abcdef
abcdefg
;
data want;
set have;
if length(code) < 5 then code = cats('0', code);
run;
