I try to infile a sas file (CRF.sas) to sas using the following code. The output dataset is “Want”.
data want;
infile "C:\Users\weig3\Desktop\CRF.sas" ;
input col $ 1-300;
RUN;
The CRF.sas contain 6 line as below
The “want” contains only 4 line as below
It sounds the line “data data1 (label=”Demographics”);” is missing( Please see attached file for details.)
Could anyone help me to avoid the error?
Thanks
If you want us to test it, you should upload the text file. To test it, I'd have to type it out and I don't do that on principle 🙂
Try changing LRECL on the infile statement and include the TRUNCOVER option.
infile "C:\Users\weig3\Desktop\CRF.sas" lrecl=300 truncover ;
Thanks.
Attached is CRF.sas file
Thanks.
Attached is CRF.sas file
NOTE: 0 records were read from the infile "C:\Users\weig3\Desktop\CRF.sas".
NOTE: The data set WORK.WANT has 1 observations and 0 variables.
NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):
real time 0.03 seconds
cpu time 0.01 seconds
My initial answer was correct in my tests.
Thanks.
I did not add "input col $1-300;"
complete code is
data want;
infile "C:\Users\weig3\Desktop\CRF.sas" lrecl=300 truncover;
input col $1-300;
RUN;
Works. Thanks
