I don't think you need to convert to numeric for this task, if your zip code \
character variables are left justified.
If all your zip code are 5 characters long, then
where '38601' <= zipcode <= '39776' ;
If some or all of the zip codes could be longer than 5 characters, then
where '38601' <= zipcode < '39777' ;
regards,
Mark

You could use a numeric variable as long as you only have 5 digit zip codes.
The code below grabs the first five digets.

Data Have;
input zip $10.;
cards;
12345
12345-6789
12346
12347
12348

Data Want;

numzip = input ( substr ( zip , 1 , 5 ) , 8. );
if 12345 le numzip le 12347;

Hi list,
I am trying to extract records with Zipcodes 38601 to 39776, the zipcode variable is \
character. I thought of between operator or substr, can it be done without converting \
the variable to numeric? Stanford
