I have values within some character variables that are longer than 8, which is the default.
How do I lengthen these values so that the data input step can read these in?
data Concordance_MAP;
input DV $ IV $ CC LCL UCL ;
datalines;
BI_A_MAP BI_LA_MAP 0.5813 0.4376 0.696
etc.....
;
run;
like this?
data Concordance_MAP;
input DV : $15. IV : $15. CC LCL UCL ;
datalines;
BI_A_MAP BI_LA_MAP 0.5813 0.4376 0.696
;
run;

Thank you so much!
I never would have thought of this approach on my own. Was trying to do this with a length statement and format / informat statements.
