RANK Function in
SAS Language Reference: Dictionary
|
-
x
-
is a character expression (or character
string) 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 OpenVMS uses
the ASCII character set, the RANK function returns an integer that represents
the position of a character in the ASCII collating sequence.
