https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Save-Changes-to-Import-Task/m-p/1505#M469 I imported a .csv file through the option File - Import Data in Enterprise Guide 4. Under Column Options I needed to change some of the column options that EG4 had decided upon automatically e.g. change a column from numeric to character. I clicked "Save" to save my changes and then "Run" to run the task.<BR /> <BR /> The import worked correctly. However if I go back into the task my changes have not been saved. i.e. the column will have reverted to being numeric.<BR /> <BR /> I need to import a file with several dozen fields, maybe a dozen of which need alteration so I need to be able to view output and then return to the task to make further changes to the Column Options. But each time, I need to start again.<BR /> <BR /> Any ways around this?

My advice is to try applying the EG 4.1 hotfix (see previous post) -- it does address a handful of Import Data scenarios. However, I reviewed the fix list and your symptom doesn't stand out; nor have we been able to reproduce this here with the information you've provided.<BR /> <BR /> If the hotfix doesn't solve it, please contact SAS tech support with the details.<BR /> <BR /> Chris Wed, 04 Oct 2006 18:17:15 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Save-Changes-to-Import-Task/m-p/1506#M470 ChrisHemedinger 2006-10-04T18:17:15Z
