Hi,
I have a SAS statement like the one below.
RETAIN a b ' ';
RETAIN will retain the values of the variable as it reads through multiple observations.
But what is the meaning of ' ' near b? Could anyone be kind enough to explain? |

I went through manuals and learnt that it is initializing b to ' '.
Am i correct? |
