I want a Nysiis program in SAS to create Nysiis code for first name and last name. Could anybody share the Nysiis program?

I work for a no-profit company. But profit company may use our data. The Nysiis code is used for match only, not go into final dataset.

Thanks.

It's IBM intellectual property when it's embedded in QualityStage, but an internet search will reveal the algorithm, from Robert L. Taft's original to the latest incarnations.

A Google search for "NYSIIS algorithm" returns over 20,000 hits.
