SAS Language Reference: Dictionary

-
x
-
specifies a character constant, variable,
or expression that contains a character in the ASCII collating sequence. If
the length of x is greater than 1, you receive
the rank of the first character in the string.
Because UNIX uses the ASCII character
set, the RANK function returns an integer that represents the position of
a character in the ASCII collating sequence.
