Is there an equivalent of the Oracle NVL function in SAS?
For example, if I have a where clause in SAS that says:
where myVar > -2;
it is not going to include any rows that have myVar = .
If I want to treat missing values as zero, i have to say:
where myVar > -2 or missing( myVar )
I’d like to be able to do something like:
where NVL( myVar, 0 ) > -2 // or some SAS equivalent
Is there something like this in SAS?
The coalesce function should do the job.
I’m not sure if the function became available in SAS 9, so if you have a really old SAS version this might not work.
