Help in initializing variable with spaces in SAS.

[vkpani]

Hi,

Can anyone of you please help me to initialize the variable with spaces in SAS?

Say, for example, I have a variable declared as SE1 = ' ',

Now SE1 is declared with only one space. But I want to initialise with more spaces. How can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

You could use

Code: Select all

SE1 = '     ';

(that is, put more than one space between the quote marks). Or you can use the REPEAT function to specify how many spaces you want SE1 to have.
