I know compress function and its modifiers like 'kp' 'ka' 'kd' , but couldn't find difference in below program what will happen if I run below program?
data t ;
name='jhon peter' ;
a=compress(name,,'r') ;
run;
(duplicate of later post)
Hi:
You are correct, the R is not a modifier. This is what happens:
Perhaps the OP could clarify what the desired output was going to be using 'R' in the COMPRESS Function.

nothing happens,
to compress r use in second argument.
find the documentation what are allowed in modifiers(third argument) and r is not of them. it generally looking for groups of letter like alphabets(a) digits(d) etc
