I have two variables that are internally stored as two bytes of hex data each. I need to create another variable from these two, such that the new variable is a character concatenation of the two, with the equivalent hexadecimal characters, in this case 8 characters. I've tried V1V2_CHAR = CAT(V1_HEX, V2_HEX); FORMAT V1V2_CHAR $CHAR4. ; but the variable still prints in hex (non-printable on the screen) but a hex display shows it. I admittedly only use SAS on rare occasions, so pardon my newbi-ness.. Thanks! Rod PS. This is SAS on z/OS.
