I have to code like this

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..
