  1. BETWEEN-AND Operator: Between Two Numbers
    Task 1: Suppose you want to select scores whose values are greater than or equal to 50 and less than or equal to 90. SQL 
    data readin;
input name $ Section $ Score;
cards;
Raj  A 80
Atul A 77
Priya B 45
Sandeep A 95
Rahul C 84
Shreya C 44
;
run;

data readin1;
set readin;
where Score between 50 and 90;
run;
    where Score between 50 and 90 => This would tell SAS to select values through 50 and 90 (not 51 to 89). Output This can also be written like: where Score GE 50 and Score LE 90;
  2. CONTAINS Operator: Searching specific character Task 2: Suppose you want to select only those observations in which students' name contain 'hil'. SQL 
    data readin;
input name $ Section $ Score;
cards;
Raj  A 80
Atul A 77
Priya B 45
Sandeep A 95
Rahil C 84
Sahil B 44
;
run;

data readin1;
set readin;
where name contains 'hil';
run;
    where name contains 'hil' => This would tell SAS to select observations having the values Rahil, Sahil for the variable NAME. Note: The CONTAINS operator is case sensitive. Output
