i have to concatenate the values where its 'y' .any suggestions how to do this.with above code its not working.
for example if aesmie=y then newvar will have value of 'OMI' if 3 variavles (aesmie,aescong,astserfl)are 'Y' then (newvar=OMI,CA,AST)concatenate that variable values
Can you please provide the community with an INPUT sample data, an OUTPUT(wanted) sample data and your requirement/logic?
If I understand the question correctly, the formula should be:
......... then newvar = catx(',', of aereas1-aereas7);
