Selecting a portion of a variable


By default, the entire variables replaces the &VN in the data set name. You can also specify that a portion of the variable is included by specifying:

&VN (S:C)

Where:

  • &VN is the 2 character variable.
  • S is the starting position in the variable
  • C is the number of characters in the variable that are included

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
