Hi,
I'm having trouble with my output (Text) file.
Here's my code:
data null;
file &file3 linesize=3200 dlm='|' ;
set USDATM_&MTH. end=eof;
if _n_= 1 then do;
put
'ATM_ID'
'|ATM_ALT_ID'
'|ATM_USD_CSH_IND'
;
end;
put
atm_id
atm_alt_id
atm_usd_csh_ind
;
if eof and char in ('0D'x, '0A'x) then
put @;
run;
My output looks like this:
VAR1|VAR2|VAR3
ABC5|FD53|Y
DEF0|FE78|Y
FDS9|EW38|Y
FDR4|QW82|Y
I want to remove the extra line at the bottom..
Please help.
thanks
OK. How about this one ?
data _null_;
set sashelp.class end=last;
file '/folders/myfolders/want.txt' recfm=n;
if _n_=1 then put "Name|sex|age|weight" '0D0A'x;
put name +(-1)'|' sex +(-1)'|' age +(-1)'|' weight ;
if not last then put +(-1) '0D0A'x;
run;
Why not take out the statement
if eof and char in ('0D'x, '0A'x) then
put @;
Here is an example. Is this file for windows or for unix ?
Windows use '0D0A'x
Unix use '0A'x
data _null_;
set sashelp.class end=last;
file '/folders/myfolders/want.txt' recfm=n ;
put name +(-1)'|' sex +(-1)'|' age +(-1)'|' weight @;
if not last then put '0D0A'x;
run;
OK. Try this one .
data _null_;
set sashelp.class end=last;
file '/folders/myfolders/want.txt' recfm=n dlm='|';
if _n_=1 then put "Name|sex|age|weight" '0D0A'x;
put name sex age weight ;
if not last then put '0D0A'x;
run;
OK. How about this one ?
data _null_;
set sashelp.class end=last;
file '/folders/myfolders/want.txt' recfm=n;
if _n_=1 then put "Name|sex|age|weight" '0D0A'x;
put name +(-1)'|' sex +(-1)'|' age +(-1)'|' weight ;
if not last then put +(-1) '0D0A'x;
run;
OK. This is really not easy. This code ought to be right.
data _null_;
set sashelp.class end=last;
file '/folders/myfolders/want.txt' recfm=n;
if _n_=1 then put "Name|sex|age|weight" '0D0A'x;
length x $ 4000;
x=catx('|',name,sex,age,weight);
len=length(x);
put x $varying4000. len ;
if not last then put '0D0A'x;
run;
You may want to look at the TERMSTR option on your FILE statement. It sets whether the end of line is CRLF (windows default) LF or NL
