argument
-
specifies a character constant, variable,
or expression.
In a DATA step, if the RIGHT function
returns a value to a variable that has not previously been assigned a length,
then that variable is given the length of the first argument.
The RIGHT function returns an argument with trailing
blanks moved to the start of the value. The length of the result is the same
as the length of the argument.
