Hi,

I have a problem to import this file csv with these column:(in a I have the point, while in b I have the comma)

a b

1 1,048

356,8

3 6764

0.1 564

4 0,0019

1 0,0678

Obviously, I will have to do, some arithimetics operation between this coloumn and with other column from other table with COMMAX7.3 format.

have you any idea how to build the input statment in a data step?

Can't u just use the commaxw informat? e.g.:

data have;

input a b;

informat b commax7.;

format b best32.;

cards;

1 1,048

356,8

3 6764

0.1 564

4 0,0019

1 0,0678

;

Of course, if your csv is actually comma delimited as well, you'll have to account for the delimiter. e.g., something like the following should work:

data have;

infile cards dlm='~';

input @;

_infile_=substr(_infile_,1,find(_infile_,',')-1)||"~"||

substr(_infile_,find(_infile_,',')+1);

input a b;

informat b commax7.;

format b best32.;

cards;

1,1,048

,356,8

3,6764

0.1,564

4,0,0019

1,0,0678

;
