Subject:      SAS Puzzle: Evaluating Logic in a Character Field

I have a one-column dataset of the following form:

  Logic
  -------
  0<0.9<1
  0<15
  0<1.3<1

I would like to append a numeric 0/1 flag to this dataset which indicates
whether the expression contained in the column "Logic" is true (=1) or
false (=0).

  Logic    Flag
  -------  ------
  0<0.9<1  1
  0<15     1
  0<1.3<1  0

Does anyone know how to do this?

TIA,
Paul
