hello sir, when am using else if statement along with length function, am getting two equal to symbols(==) and text cursor jumping back.

 

data dt1;

x='ukunk';

if length(x)=5 then y = 'correct';

else if length(x)= 3 then y ='incorrect';

run;

 

and when am using if statement along with substr function am getting two letters (kk,uu,dd) and text cursor jumping back.

 

data dt2;

x='ukunk';

if substr(x,1,5)='ukunk' then y = 'correct';

run;

 

am getting issues in these to programs, please correct me.

> text cursor jumping back

You mean that the cursor in the SAS editor is moving on its own?

What editor is that: SAS desktop (DMS)? EG? SAS Studio?
