Hi All! I have a CSV table and one of them contains 4 digit numbers. However, in that column, I just need the 3 last digits for analysis. How do I make SAS read-only the 3 last digits?
Thank you in advance for your answer
If it is sure of 4 digits, I think you can use the substr function to get the second and subsequent characters.
filename txt temp;
data _null_;
file txt;
put '1234';
put '5678';
put '9012';
run;
data want;
infile txt dsd;
length num 8 lastdgt $3;
input num;
lastdgt=substr(strip(put(num,best.)),2);
run;
Thank you everyone!
