Hello again, I have a (probably) simple question and I feel dumb for not being able to figure it out.
The problem is that I have a text file and the first row contains variable names, how do I simply just delete the first row?
Thanks.
Example:
Country, ID
USA, 1
China, 2
Germany, 3
How are you importing the file? If its proc import then just add the option: firstobs=2;
If its a datastep (which is preferred) add firstobs=2 to the infile statement:
infile "yourfile.txt" firstobs=2;
