how to split a variable with sas function
var=hello,how r you,I am fime
I have to code like this
var1=sasfunction(var,'delemiter',position)
Kindly help me which function I have to use.

Ashwini
you can use scan function.
If you don't mind (var,position,'dlm') instead of (var,'dlm', position), then scan() is your friend.
Hi Ashwini..
In this way you can use Scan function.....
data test;
var="hello,how r you,I am fime";
var1=scan(var,1, ' , ');
var2=scan(var,2, ' , ');
var3=scan(var,3, ' , ');
run;
Thanks & Regards..
