Hi,
I have a large number of columns and rows.
I want to delete a row of data if one specific variable is missing (FIRMID) which is a character variable
I tried the following but it didn't seem to work
data want;
set have;
if FIRMID = " " then delete;
run;
Any help appreciated
Your code should work, unless FIRMID contains non printable characters. Try this test instead
if notspace(FIRMID)=0 then delete;

Did you try using the MISSING function?
if missing(firmid) then delete;
