Subject:      LIKE statement as a regular SAS expression???
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

I am generating an HTML table using put statement.  I would like to
output the link only where prod_code is like C for everything else I
don't want to put the link out.

If prod_code like 'C%' then
   do;
   put @134 '<TD WIDTH="235" ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="2">
                                   <A HREF='my_link'
TARGET="_top">Click Here</A></FONT></TD>';
  end;

but it is complaining about like.  Like can only be used with where
statement.  Can you please put me in the right direction??

Regards

Jan
