7. INDEX INDEXC AND INDEXW?CRETE DATA SET USING DATASET ?
USING INDEX INDEXC AND INDEXW FUNCTIONS?

INDEX……..> TO CHECK THE PATTERN STRING


DATA Y;

P=INDEX(O,”LA”);
RUN;
INDEXC….> IT PARTICULLARYCHECKS THE INDIVIDUAL CHARCTER IN A
STRING
DATA OO;
O=”THIS IS MY BOX IS FULL OF CHOCOLATES”;
P=INDEXC(O,”HTO”);
RUN;
INDEXW…….>DATA OO;
O=”THIS IS MY BOX IS FULL OF CHOCOLATES”;
D=INDEXW(O,”BOX”);
E=INDEXW(O,”box”);
RUN;

8. COMBINS THE STRINGS FIRST NAME,LAST NAMEAND LOCATION


FROM SASUSER.EMPDATAAND USE COMPRESS FUNCTION FOR THE
