Answer / akhil

If I am having a data set c
data test;
input c $ 20.;

cards;
123 456
217 236
456235
225 5665
55
77 85
46556
4588 56
;
run;
proc print;
run;

Now I am going to fetch observation having space in between,

data e(drop=e t);
set test;
e=length(c);
t=find(c,'');
if e>t;
run;
proc print data=e;
run;
