Hi,
I analyze log files which historically have been text based; with the increase in hacking attacks, these now contain binary data from other servers. SAS can't read past certain locations and I suspect there is an embedded EOF character in them.
I've tried several options on the filename and infile statements to read the 11 lines of the attached sample. Is there something I can use that will read all 11 lines?
Example:
data test;
infile 'c:\smtp.txt';
input;
put _infile_;
run;
only reports 4 lines read.
Thanks!
--Ben
data test; infile 'c:\smtp.txt' ignoredoseof; input; put _infile_; run;
This seems to work fine for me:
data want; infile "c:\smtp.txt" lrecl=32767 dsd; length res $2000; input res $; run;
data test; infile 'c:\smtp.txt' ignoredoseof; input; put _infile_; run;
