Subject:      substr
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi, can i make a variable called start_hour by using the substr function
on a time (time5) variable?

the time variable is called sas_beg1(8:00 ,12:00)

ex.
start_hour1=substr(sas_beg1,1,2)

and i would like it to return either 08 or 8 and 12 for the start_hour
variable value.
thank you for substr help. Ruben
