specifies a character
constant, variable, or expression.
n
specifies the number
of times to repeat argument.
Restriction
n must be greater
than or equal to 0.
Details
In a DATA step, if the
REPEAT function returns a value to a variable that has not previously
been assigned a length, then that variable is given a length of 200
bytes.
The REPEAT function
returns a character value consisting of the first argument repeated n times. Thus, the first argument appears n+1 times in the result.
Example
The following SAS statements
produce these results.
