When I use the SHA256HEX function and the variable length is less than 256, it appears to just spill over into other fields in the data set.   In the code below, I would expect the 'y' variable to be identical, but it is not.  Is this expected behavior, or a bug? data test; x="I want to hide this"; y="I want to keep this"; x=SHA256HEX(strip(x)); run; proc print data=test; run; data test; format x y $256.; x="I want to hide this"; y="I want to keep this"; x=SHA256HEX(strip(x)); run; proc print data=test; run;   I'm using SAS 9.4 TS1M8 under 64 bit windows 10.  ...

The "Green Blue" color looks red on my monitor, but "Blue Green" looks similar to cyan, as expected. SAS documentation (from %HELPCLR(CNS);)  says: 3. The hues may be combined in either order. Blue Green is the same as Green Blue. A hue with the "ish" suffix must be listed first, as in Yellowish Green.   SAS code to show this (ran in SAS 9.4 TS1M8, Windows 10): data test; colorname='Green Blue'; output; colorname='Blue Green'; output; run; proc report data=test; title1 'What is going on with BLUE GREEN named color combinations?'; column colorname colorname=clr; define colorname/ 'Color Name'; define clr / 'Color'; compute clr /char length=200; call define(_col_,'style','style={background='||colorname||'}'); endcomp; run;   @carpentera (code adapted from  https://blogs.sas.com/content/sgf/2016/08/03/tips-for-working-with-color-names-formats-macros-ods-excel-and-proc-report)  Additional reference here:  https://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/graphref/63022/HTML/default/viewer.htm#colors-specify-color.htm ...
