The KLENGTH function returns an integer
that represents the position of the rightmost non-blank character in the argument.
If the value of the argument is missing, KLENGTH returns a value of 1. If
the argument is an uninitialized numeric variable, KLENGTH returns a value
of 12 and prints a note in the SAS log that the numeric values have been converted
to character values.
