How to: create an xml file

shlomiohana — Mon, 25 Oct 2021 19:50:55 GMT

Hello,
I want to create an xml file from a SAS table with a hierarchy.
The table has the following 8 fields:
atmld, bankcode, bankbranchcode, schum, dt, monthreport, cuerrentdate, factorcode.

Example table:

atmld	bankcode	bankbranchcode	schum	dt	monthreport	cuerrentdate	factorcode
S$982	12	600	1234	2020-09-12	2020-02	2019-05-30	12
S$982	12	600	12342	2020-09-13	2020-02	2019-05-30	12

Example of how I would like the xml file to be displayed.

This is the code I wrote:

data _null_;
	set work.report end=eof;
	file "&outfile./Report.xml" noprint encoding="utf-8";

	if _n_ =1 then
		do;
			put '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>';
			put '<ATMstockReport>';
			put '<currentDate>' currentDate '</currentDate>';
			put '<factorCode>' factorCode '</factorCode>';
			put '<monthReport>' monthReport '</monthReport>';
			put '<atmsStock>';
		end;

	put '<atm atmId="'atmId'">';
	put '<bankCode>' bankCode '</bankCode>';
	put '<bankBranchCode>' bankBranchCode '</bankBranchCode>';
	put '<dates>';
	put '<date dt="'cdt'">';
	put '<schum>' schum '</schum>';
	put '</date>';
	put '</dates>';
	put '</atm>';

	if eofl then
		do;
			put '</atmsStock>';
			put '</ATMstockReport>';
		end;
run;

How do I fix the code so that the 2 dates or more are open under the same atmId as in the picture?

I do not want each record to be opened separately.

Thanks.

Your screenshot is hard to read but something like this should work.

Please adapt.

data _null_;
	set work.report end=eof;
	file "&outfile./Report.xml" noprint encoding="utf-8";
by ATMID BANKCODE BANKBRANCHCODE ;
	if _n_ =1 then
		do;
			put '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>';
			put '<ATMstockReport>';
			put '<currentDate>' currentDate '</currentDate>';
			put '<factorCode>' factorCode '</factorCode>';
			put '<monthReport>' monthReport '</monthReport>';
			put '<atmsStock>';
		end;
if first.BANKBRANCHCODE then do;
	put '<atm atmId="'atmId'">';
	put '<bankCode>' bankCode '</bankCode>';
	put '<bankBranchCode>' bankBranchCode '</bankBranchCode>';
        put '<dates>'; 
end;
	put '<date dt="'cdt'">';
	put '<schum>' schum '</schum>';
	put '</date>';
if last.BANKBRANCHCODE then do;
	put '</dates>';
	put '</atm>';
end;
	if eofl then
		do;
			put '</atmsStock>';
			put '</ATMstockReport>';
		end;
run;

Note that the data must be sorted or indexed.
