Hi all,
I have the following statement:
data a (drop=i); set b; array x{*} dx:; r=1=0;
do i=1 to dim(x); if susbtrn(x{i},1,3) in ('210','220') then do; r=1;
leave;
end;
end;
run;
my question if I want to include another entry with a length of 4 meaning if susbtrn= '210', '220', '2320', how can I adjust the above statement to account for different the lengths?
data a (drop=i); set b; array x{*} dx:; r=1=0;
do i=1 to dim(x);
if susbtrn(x{i},1,3) in ('210','220')
or susbtrn(x{i},1,4) in ( '2320')
then do; r=1;
leave;
end;
end;
run
data a (drop=i); set b; array x{*} dx:; r=1=0;
do i=1 to dim(x);
if susbtrn(x{i},1,3) in ('210','220')
or susbtrn(x{i},1,4) in ( '2320')
then do; r=1;
leave;
end;
end;
run
I'm not sure you have the spelling right, but here's a variation that works for character strings:
if x{i} in : ('210','220','2299') then do;
