Did you check the manual?
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/64316/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a000212246.htm
There is a whole section on Modifiers.
The second argument is the character list which specifies the characters you want to have removed. If you only wanted hyphens removed it would be a hyphen in quotes.
I would suggest bookmarking this page:
Then click on Functions, find the function of interest and you can see all the details for that particular function, such as RAND() or COMPRESS.
