I want to every second string in upcase

[PeterClemmensen]

Do you mean every second word in a string or every second observation?

second observation by using data sets

[Shmuel]

data want;

 set have;

       retain flag 0; drop flag;

      array varx $ _character_;

      if flag=0 then do;

         output;

         flag=1;

    end;

    else

    do i=1 to dim(varx);

          varx(i) = upcase(varx(i));

          output;

          flag=0;

     end;

run;

Please edit the title and add something meaningful. The word "sas" does not tell anybody anything about the issue you need to be solved.

You should although add data in usable format (data step with datalines) and explain. based on the input you show, what do expect as result.
