Repeats a character expression
Category: Character
REPEAT ( argument,n )
argument
specifies any SAS character expression.
n
specifies the number of times to repeat argument .
Restriction: n must be greater than or equal to 0.
If the REPEAT function returns a value to a variable that has not yet been assigned a length, by default the variable is assigned a length of 200.
The REPEAT function returns a character value consisting of the first argument repeated n times. Thus, the first argument appears n +1 times in the result.
