Hi,
After running proc product_status; run; i got this in the log,
-----------
For Base SAS Software ...
Custom version information: 9.4_M7
Image version information: 9.04.01M7P080520
For SAS/STAT ...
Custom version information: 15.2
For SAS/GRAPH ...
Custom version information: 9.4_M7
------------
I want to ask what does it mean by "Custom version information: 9.4_M7" ? Does it mean i got customized (only selected) of the product purchased?
I have seen a thread on this before here: https://communities.sas.com/t5/New-SAS-User/SAS-9-4-licensed-installed-products-Questions/td-p/82142...
but it didn't answer if i am getting ala carte version or full version of the license ?
Thanks Josvander,
I have this when i run proc setinit
---SAS/ACCESS Interface to PC Files
and i get this when i run proc product_status
For SAS/ACCESS Interface to PC Files ...
Custom version information: 9.4_M7
My problem is that when i try to proc import a dbf file it says ---->non-supported file is specified
So i am wondering whether my license was customised? But if as you highlighted, i should have full license then i should be able to proc import dbf file. I have also tried proc dbf but not able to do so because my dbf was not db=2, db=3, db=4, db=5 .
Thank you guys.
The reason i started this thread was because i saw this thread here:
https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/How-to-import-dbf-file-into-sas/td-p/561827
i was having same issue as the poster of that thread where the error kept saying "non-supported file is specified". Of course i can do a workaround and convert my foxpro dbf file into csv and import it. But i believe in the power of SAS and there should be a solution.
Some of the comments there mentioned about the license part. Which led me want to check if the license when bought, if they were given partially or full based on some sales agreement. Since as mentioned that license would be given as full, i went on digging further and found a solution.
The solution was to put dbms=dbfmemo in the proc import statement.
PROC IMPORT OUT=WORK.TEST
DATAFILE='orders.dbf'
DBMS=DBFMEMO REPLACE;
RUN;
Thank you!
