Here is my problem
I am reading a flat file on the mainframe using SAS spawner. One of the input reading field is
@0198 DESCRIPT $CHAR45.
.
When I read it, one of the following filed value on the file(input file) is
toifcitrixc14p. Endpoint Unreachble
After I read, I see the value in the SAS dataset is
toifcitrixc14p'box' Endpoint Unreachble
Note that , here I write box instead of box character because I am not able write a box char.
When I put the following option
infile info lrecl=700 pad ignoredoseof.
I see the following error message.
3 infile info lrecl=700 pad ignoredoseof;
-------------------
23
ERROR 23-2: Invalid option name IGNOREDOSEOF.
Can any one help me out, how to ignore this box char when I read the file. because when I write back to text file, it shift all fields after the filed DESCRIPT.
Thanks
