Hello,
I want to convert 2 numeric variables (DemAffl & DemAge) from an existing data set to character variables on a new data set. I tried to use the informat statement:
data sasuser.newset;
set sasuser.organics(obs=20000);
informat ID $10. DemAffl $10. DemAge $8. DemCluster $2. DemClusterGroup $1. DemGender $1. DemReg $10.
DemTVReg $12. PromClass $8. PromSpend 8.2 PromTime 8. TargetAmt 8. TargetBuy 8.;
run;
But it is not working & the log shows the following:
WARNING: Variable DemAffl has already been defined as numeric.
WARNING: Variable DemAge has already been defined as numeric.
Attaching the proc contents output below for reference,
Thanks.
