Note: Autocall macros are included in a library supplied by SAS. This library might not be installed at your site or might be a site-specific version. If you cannot access this macro or if you want to find out if it is a site-specific version, see your on-site SAS support personnel.

%KVERIFY returns the position of the first character in the source that is not also present in excerpt. If all the characters in source are present in the excerpt, %KVERIFY returns a value of 0.
