I have a dataset which contains multiple character responses. Below are four example of the same response as far as interpretation, but due to capitalization and punctuation, each response would have to be re-coded. There are multiple questions that have the same issue and I am trying to find ways to save time and also have code to make all the data uniform. I wanted to clean-up the data prior to doing any re-coding by making all the responses uppercase and deleting any punctuation. Is there a SAS function that can do this? Example of differences in format of responses, but interpretation is the same I agree. I Agree I don't know I Don't Know. I appreciate any help you can give. Thank you.
