Using the Scan and Compress functions will do the trick.

 data x;
                length  var1 var2 $ 20;
                var='THISisatest';
                var1=scan(var,1,'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz');
                var2=compress(var,var1);
      run;

Gives you var1='THIS' var2='isatest'

Cheers

Subject:  how to test lowcase and upcase



    Hi all,

    I have a variable with both lowcase and upcase characters, so I
would like to separate into two variables then lowcase and upcase texts.
See a example:

Var1
JEGUEbode
JABArapadura

So, I would like to get:
Var2            Var3
JEGUE        bode
JABA          rapadura

    How can I do that? I think I have to test if the sequence of
character is or not upcase (lowcase).

    Thanks.
    Ailton
