Usage Note 63402: The KCOMPRESS function now supports a third argument to allow for modifiers

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

Beginning in SAS® 9.4M6, the KCOMPRESS function supports a third argument to allow for modifiers. It works like the COMPRESS function.

Here is the syntax for the function:

kcompress(source, <characters-to-remove> <, modifier(s)>)

For full details, see the SAS® 9.4 National Language Support (NLS): Reference Guide, Fifth Edition.

SAS plans to provide support for this modifier in SAS® 9.4M5 via a hot fix.
