Hello,
I'm trying to concatenate two numeric columns. I used put function to do that and my output result shows space between them and it converted to character. Your help is appreciated.
newnumber=put(old_num, z8.)||visit;
Here's how the output result looks like
newnumber
01234567 1234
The only thing I don't want to see is the space between them. I would like to see
newnumber
012345671234
For a character value :
newnumber=cats(put(old_num, z8.),visit);
for a numeric value
newnumber=input(cats(put(old_num, z8.),visit), best.);
