Hello everyone, I am looking to read ICD10 diagnosis codes into one variable and the code description in another variable. What is the input statement switch that will allow me to do this? Example: Newborn only diagnosis codes and descriptions: DATA sparcs.input_newborn_icd10_2017; INPUT DX $ ; DATALINES; A33 Tetanus neonatorum E8411 Meconium ileus in cystic fibrosis H04531 Neonatal obstruction of right nasolacrimal duct H04532 Neonatal obstruction of left nasolacrimal duct H04533 Neonatal obstruction of bilateral nasolacrimal duct H04539 Neonatal obstruction of unspecified nasolacrimal duct N470 Adherent prepuce, newborn Z00110 Health examination for newborn under 8 days old Z00111 Health examination for newborn 8 to 28 days old Z3800 Single liveborn infant, delivered vaginally Z3801 Single liveborn infant, delivered by cesarean Z381 Single liveborn infant, born outside hospital Z382 Single liveborn infant, unspecified as to place of birth Z3830 Twin liveborn infant, delivered vaginally Z3831 Twin liveborn infant, delivered by cesarean Z384 Twin liveborn infant, born outside hospital Z385 Twin liveborn infant, unspecified as to place of birth Z3861 Triplet liveborn infant, delivered vaginally Z3862 Triplet liveborn infant, delivered by cesarean Z3863 Quadruplet liveborn infant, delivered vaginally Z3864 Quadruplet liveborn infant, delivered by cesarean Z3865 Quintuplet liveborn infant, delivered vaginally Z3866 Quintuplet liveborn infant, delivered by cesarean Z3868 Other multiple liveborn infant, delivered vaginally Z3869 Other multiple liveborn infant, delivered by cesarean Z387 Other multiple liveborn infant, born outside hospital Z388 Other multiple liveborn infant, unsp as to place of birth ; RUN; This code reads in the ICD10 DX code and stops at the first blank character. Great. How do I read the rest of the data as one character variable, such as NBdescription? I will use this technique multiple times for the numerous code/description pairs I will come across. Thanks in advance. Stephen Dybas
