Hi

 

I've written a macro to generate some code to read a text file.    The code generates the relevant read statements fine and I can copy the log and run it and it executes.

 

However when I run the actual macro it doesn't read the file.  It appears to thing its like some text. 

 

Can anyone help?

 

I've pasted the code and the log below.

 

Rob

 

 

The code is

%macro InputSetupData (CIRTASIS=,  InputFile=, OutputData=, Deal= , paramtab= );

%getinfile(&paramfile, &paramtab)  ;

%assignmacros(&paramtab);

%let commandString=%nrstr(;);
 
   DATA &OutputData.;

  %put INFILE "&InputFile" DELIMITER = '|' MISSOVER SCANOVER DSD LRECL=32767 /*FIRSTOBS=2*/;
  
          %put &commandString ;

    %do i=1 %to &nobs;

       %put INFORMAT  &&field&i &&informat&i;

    %end;

      
    %do i=1 %to &nobs;

       %put FORMAT  &&field&i &&format&i;

    %end;


    %do i=1 %to &nobs;

       %if &i=1 %then %put Input;
                %put &&field&i  &&input&i ;

    %end;

    %put &commandString ; 

        run;

%mend;


%InputSetupData(CIRTASIS=CIRT,  InputFile=&CIRT_Input, OutputData=CIRTData, Deal= , paramtab=Input_Fields_CS_CIRT_Setup_Data);

the log is

INFILE "\\Essentsvr\SAAS\Exhibits\CIRT\Surveillance\All-CIRT-Deals_012018_1.csv" DELIMITER = '|'
MISSOVER SCANOVER DSD LRECL=32767

yes good point, this now works

 

%macro InputSetupData (CIRTASIS=,  InputFile=, OutputData=, Deal= , paramtab= );

%getinfile(&paramfile, &paramtab)  ;

%assignmacros(&paramtab);

 
   DATA &OutputData.;

  %put INFILE "&InputFile" DELIMITER = '|' MISSOVER SCANOVER DSD LRECL=32767 /*FIRSTOBS=2*/;
  INFILE "&InputFile" DELIMITER = '|' MISSOVER SCANOVER DSD LRECL=32767 /*FIRSTOBS=2*/;

    %do i=1 %to &nobs;

        INFORMAT  &&field&i &&informat&i;

    %end;

      
    %do i=1 %to &nobs;

        FORMAT  &&field&i &&format&i;

    %end;


    Input
    %do i=1 %to &nobs;
                 &&field&i  &&input&i

    %end;

        ;

        run;

%mend;


%InputSetupData(CIRTASIS=CIRT,  InputFile=&CIRT_Input, OutputData=CIRTData, Deal= , paramtab=Input_Fields_CS_CIRT_Setup_Data);

Please use a code window - its the {i} when posting code to avoid smiley faces and to preserve formatting.  

First question I had was with the thread title - "SAS macro to read a text file" - why do you need to read a text file with macro?  Macro is not a replacement for Base SAS!  

Now I am assuming that the file specification is written down somewhere, possibly in an agreement?  So there is no need for macro at all, write a plain simple datastep read in.  This will make your coding life easier, and be easier to maintain.

If of course your trying to read in a file which you do not have the spec for you have no hope really.
