I have been trying to test for the existence of a word in the content of a JMP column, with embarassingly null outcomes. To be sure, I need to ask: When I browse a SAS file with attached formate, are the formats imported into the variables, or are the variables still in their original form, but displaying the format contents? If the latter, then obviously I cannot run a character test contains (variable, "search text) because the text is not there. Is that correct?
Thanks
