Character Functions in SAS

The programs demonstrate various string manipulation and data validation techniques in SAS including: 1) Concatenating, extracting, and modifying substrings within variables 2) Converting between character and numeric data types 3) Validating data for expected formats and values 4) Filtering and sorting data based on string matching and comparisons The programs read in external data, perform string/data processing, and output results for analysis and validation.
