Hi Kevin - Just curious, what do you think of also adding this code into the sample program so that users can see there is the option to list multiple values in each WHEN clause? data work.cars_orig_country; /1/ |
|
Hi Stacey,
Sounds good to me. In fact, you just taught me something – I had never tried with multiple values in WHEN. 😲
Will you make the update or do you want me to?

I'm a lazy programmer, so I'm always looking for shortcuts. :) I don't mind making the change. I'll merge the request, then update the program. I'll make a couple of other edits that I'll mention here for future reference:

Thank you. I thought I had grabbed the latest version of the documentation, sorry if I didn't. Note that CALCULATED COLUMNS (uppercase) also appears in DATA Step > Compute new columns...sas so it's probably worth changing it there, too.

* I'll take out EXAMPLE from the program title in the comment and make the program file name and title match.
* I'll update the doc link to use the default URL that will always point to the latest version of the page.
* I'll change "CASE statement" to "CASE expression" to be consistent with SQL terminology.
* I'll change CALCULATED COLUMN to lower case in the keyword list (syntax keywords are in caps, topic keywords are lower) and I'll add 'calculated column' to the kewords.txt file.

You did include the 2025.04 link - thank you! I will still change the URL so that it automatically opens the latest version of the page, so next month it will open to 2025.05. If you want to do this yourself in future programs, plug the URL for the doc page into this internal app: https://docportal.unx.sas.com/url-conversion/. Then grab the Production link under Default URLs. |

Nice! Thanks for that tip.
