Hi SAS Experts,

I was trying to create new variables from my old variables. The old variable looks like the following:

var1

AAA H-D LIQ -.25 AAA H-D LIQ BBBBB H-D LIQ CCCC H-D LIQ PP DD H-D LIQ

The value under the variable name var1 has 30 number of bytes, some of them is space. I would like to seperate the value of "var1" into several varibles which will be in the format:

var1 var2 var3 var4 AAA H-D LIQ -0.25

because the would-be-first variable's number of bytes is not fixed (AAA, BBBBB, CCCd, DD...), I found it is difficult for me to do this. Do you have any hints of how to do this?

Thank you very much!
