I have a problem with a sample program as below:
title "Stock Inventory by Type";
data WORK.IMPORT1;
proc freq data=WORK.IMPORT1;
tables Sector / nocum;
run;
title;
IMPORT1 is a table imported with the "import" function, but when I lunch the program the system output:
"Impossible open the table "WORK.IMPORT1" because it doesn't contain columns.
If I go to the table I can see the data (6000 rows) but if I go to the "properties" - columns there are not columns displayed. Where is the problem (I'm novice with SAS, I'm using University Edition on Amazon AWS)? I understand is a problem in the importing procedure...
Thanks!
Any data step ends either by RUN; or by a new data step or by PROC...;
your code:
title "Stock Inventory by Type";
data WORK.IMPORT1; /* <<<< this line destroys your import and creates a table with no columns ! */
proc freq data=WORK.IMPORT1;
tables Sector / nocum;
run;
title;
What do you mean by "go to the table"?
Run a
proc contents data=work.import1;
run;
and look at the output.
And run the import again and post the log (use the {i} icon to preserve formatting).
When you ran your import what was in the log
