i tried the following code from the link suggested by you.
But it is not working.
data test2;
set test;
array ch(*) $ &c_list;
array nu(*) &n_list;
do i = 1 to dim(ch);
nu(i)=input(ch(i),8.);
end;
drop i &c_list;
rename &renam_list;
run;
there are some other codes also. but i could not understand them.
i am attaching the error displayed by SAS
