I need a data set without special characters with 3 varialbles named " id name and sal"
I created programm like this, but getting error
data a;
infile 'C:\SASUniversityEdition\myfolders\vidya\test1.txt' dlm='~' '\' '&' '|' ':' '/';
input id name $ sal;
run;
Please help me to create the correct programm
If you are using UE, the path should like this: data a; infile '/folders/myfolders/test1.txt' dlm='~' '\' '&' '|' ':' '/'; input id name $ sal; run;
You will get errors for at least two reasons: (1) SAS can't find the file and (2) you didn't specify the delimiters properly. Try this instead:
data a; infile '/folders/myfolders/vidya/test1.txt' dlm='~&|:/\'; input id name $ sal; run;
