Hello

I   want to export big data set of 250 million rows and 30 columns into TXT ZIP file.

I used this code


libname LS '/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/Adhoc/creditCards/';
options missing='';
filename outfile
zip "/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/Adhoc/creditCards/lightSolver_sofi.zip"
member="lightSolver_sofi.txt";
data _null_;
file outfile dlm=',';
set LS.lightSolver_sofi;
if _n_ = 1 then put

Now I want to Import this file into SAS data set in order to see that it was exported well.

I used this code and it produce wrong results.

The values look Gibrish and only have 8 columns and only 56 million rows.

Why???

PROC IMPORT OUT=newdata
    DATAFILE="/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/Adhoc/creditCards/lightSolver_sofi.zip"
    DBMS=CSV
    REPLACE;
    GETNAMES=YES;
RUN;

I would expect something interesting in the log of the export. Having

filename outfile clear;

after the data step could be useful, too.

Thanks,

Do you want me to run this code? 

and then copy the log message?


filename outfile clear;
PROC IMPORT OUT=newdata
    DATAFILE="/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/Adhoc/creditCards/lightSolver_sofi.zip"

  1. Don't use PROC IMPORT if you're looking for consistent results
  2. Use the same fileref you used in the export DATA step in your import; you use the ZIP file as INFILE, which won't work, as a ZIP file is no longer text. If PROC IMPORT doesn't like a fileref with ZIP and MEMBER, see #1

May you please show the code?

This it the code format that I  made the export from sas data set into CSV file.

libname LS '/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/Adhoc/creditCards/';
options missing='';
filename outfile
zip "/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/Adhoc/creditCards/lightSolver_sofi.zip"
member="lightSolver_sofi.txt";
data _null_;
file outfile dlm=',';
set LS.lightSolver_sofi;
if _n_ = 1 then put 
'Var_Names with comma between them';
put 
Var_Names
;
run;
options missing='.';

Can you show code example please?

You omit the FILENAME CLEAR statement and use

infile outfile dlm="," firstobs=2 dsd truncover;

in the DATA step with which you read the file back.

To make a proper delimited file you need to use the DSD option, not just change the delimiter.  Otherwise SAS will not write  the null values and values that contain the delimiter properly.

 

First make a fileref that points to the member in the ZIP file you want write to (or read from).

filename SOFI zip
   "/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/Adhoc/creditCards/lightSolver_sofi.zip"
  member="lightSolver_sofi.txt"
;

Then you can write to the file (no need to mess with the OPTIONS settings):

libname LS '/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/Adhoc/creditCards/';
data _null_;
  file SOFI dsd ;
  if _n_ = 1 then put  'Var_Names with comma between them';
  set LS.lightSolver_sofi;
  put Var_Names ;
run;

Or read from the file:

libname LS '/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/Adhoc/creditCards/';
data LS.lightSolver_sofi;
  infile SOFI dsd truncover firstobs=2;
* Define the variables ;
  length .... ;
* read the variables ;
  input Var_Names ;
run;

If you really want to force SAS to make guesses about how to read the file you can try using PROC IMPORT, but you will first have to copy the file to an actual file.

filename copy temp;
data _null_;
  infile SOFI;
  file copy;
  input;
  put _infile_;
run;
proc import file=copy dbms=csv out=want replace;
run;

If you want you can use some other tool to guess how to import the file that does not require you to copy the file out of the ZIP file first.  

Try using %CSV2DS() macro https://github.com/sasutils/macros/blob/master/csv2ds.sas

%csv2ds(SOFI,out=want,replace=1)

And you will get other advantages.

Differences from PROC IMPORT
- Supports header lines with more than 32,767 characters
- Supports ZIP and GZIP source files
- Generates unique variable names by adding numeric suffix
- Does not overestimate maxlength when longest value is quoted
- Does NOT force character type if all values are quoted
- Generates label when generated variable name is different than header
- Supports NAMEROW option
- Supports numeric fields with special missing values (MISSING statement)
- Does not attach unneeded informats or formats
- Allows overriding calculated metadata
- Allow using random sample of rows to guess metadata
- Generates more compact SAS code
- Generates analysis summary dataset and raw data view
- Saves generated SAS code to a file
- Forces DATE and DATETIME formats to show century
- Difference in generated V7 compatible variable names
  - Replaces adjacent non-valid characters with single underscore

Thanks so much  Tom.

I applied your code and here is the Log.

I have some questions please:

1-There is a note in Log "NOTE: Format SINUN_REASON_FMT was not found or could not be loaded."

I don't see any variable with this name  SINUN_REASON_FMT.

Why this note came from? Any action is required from me about it?

2-In Order to Import the ZIP file (In order to check that it was exported correctly) I need to use following statements:

Input (List of variables in same order they appear in the ZIP file) 

Length

I am looking in the log in order to know what length to apply for each var.

How can I know it?

I dont see it in the log (Log of the export activity)

3- What type of file was created? Is it called CSV ZIP file?

is the end of the file is file_name.ZIP   or file_name.ZIP.CSV   or file_name.CSV?

1. It means you have a format of that name assigned to a variable, but the format cannot be found in the path given in the FMTSEARCH system option. You must create it anew, or add the location to FMTSEARCH.

So needed action is to create proc format?

After create proc format than the value in ZIP CSV file will be the formatted value?

And If I don't write proc format then the values  in ZIP CSV will be the non-formatted values?

Depends on what you want to put into the CSV file.   Do you want the values are stored in the dataset?  or the values that SAS would display if it could find the format?

 Other question about import the ZP CSV file.

Should I type after INPUT word the list of all variables?
