equivalent of tranwrd

[Jose7]

Hi experts,

I'm using tranwrd in sas enterprice guide and works fine, but when i use it in the linux environment it does not work

data ALTAS_DEF;
set ALTAS_DEF;
First_name = tranwrd(First_name, 'ñ', 'n');

run;

i just want to change a letter for other one, do you know a work around about it ? or an equivalent function ?

If you only need to change a character ,NOT a word/string, try KTRANSLATE().

data s;
 set sashelp.class;
First_name = ktranslate(name, 'n','ñ');

run;

For all your accented letters:

data EXAMPLE ;
  %* Test string;
  STR1 = 'aaâäÊÉŒñbb';
  %* Single letter replacements;
  STR2 = ktranslate( STR1
                   , 'AAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnoooooouuuuyy'
                   , 'ÀÁÂÃÅÄÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕØÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãåäçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõøöùúûüýÿ' );
  %* Double letter replacements;
  STR3 = tranwrd  ( STR2, 'Æ', 'AE' );
  STR3 = tranwrd  ( STR3, 'æ', 'ae' );
  STR3 = tranwrd  ( STR3, 'Œ', 'OE' );
  STR3 = tranwrd  ( STR3, 'œ', 'oe' );
  STR3 = tranwrd  ( STR3, 'ß', 'ss' );
run;

SAS does not support the regular expression syntax needed to do this in one.

This makes no sense. The SAS language is the very same on all platforms. I suspect you have another issue, like encoding.

Run this to verify:

%put &=sysencoding;
