Look at data in text editor on Mac

jc3992 — Fri, 02 Mar 2018 06:22:11 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have two data sets I need to use in SAS,

and I am going to look at them in text editor.

I use TextWrangler for my Mac air and I use SAS Studio.

However, I cannot open this two files in TextWrangler.

(I cannot attach two so I attach one instead)

Is there anyone could help me out with this?

Thank you very much!!!

A .sas7bdat is NOT a text file, so viewing it with a text editor is pointless. Use SAS to view it.

If you want to examine this data in a text editor and you have SAS Studio (guessing SAS University Edition?), then you must export the data to a text file first.

The steps for this are covered in this topic from a SAS Technical Support consultant.

May I ask you that,

for this data set,

I cannot see its full length before using Proc Print,

but I do not know how.

Would you please giving me some hints?

Thanks very much>"<

All the viewtable windows (Enterprise Guide, SAS Studio, Display Manager) provide scrolling, so you can view the whole dataset. Loading may take some time, depending on dataset size and network performance.

Thank you,

I will try that.

After using SAS 9.4 in the lab, really feel reluctant to use SAS studio in my small lap-top...lol
