In this module you will learn how Macro Functions can be used for character manipulation and numeric calculations.
You will review Data Step functions and learn how to use these in a Macro context.
This module includes practical examples of how to use functions such as:
%INDEX, %SCAN, %SUBSTR, %UPCASE, %BQUOTE, %STR, %NRBQUOTE, %NRSTR, %EVAL, %SYSFUNC and % SYSEVALF
There are mini quizzes and comprehensive exercises throughout to help assess and reinforce your learning.
By the end of this module you will be able to identify the different types of Macro Functions.
