I read somewhere that .wav are binary file formats, so that I run<BR /> <BR /> data test;<BR /> infile "c:\...\sample_sfoae.wav" lrecl = 2000;<BR /> input _x pib5. ;<BR /> run;<BR /> <BR /> proc print output:<BR /> <BR /> _x<BR /> 121438095698<BR /> 834918219026<BR /> <BR /> I wonder what that means?
