SAS Import Error

[epickg101]

I need help resolving a SAS Import Error.

Here is my code

PROC IMPORT OUT= WORK.TInformation2

DATAFILE= "z:\Injury Epi Files\Datasets\CFR\Prelim 2016\08.04.16\tINF2.txt"

DBMS=TAB REPLACE;

GETNAMES=YES;

DATAROW=2;

GUESSINGROWS=6000;

RUN;

Below is the error message I received.

[Kurt_Bremser]

Inspect your infile according to this part of the messages:

NOTE: Invalid data for INFbrmilk in line 8759 369-430.
NOTE: Invalid data for INFfoodunk in line 8759 451-458.
NOTE: Invalid data for INFmalvicna in line 8759 461-469.

use a good text editing tool (eg notepad++) where you can navigate to line 8759 and the mentioned columns to see what data you have there.

[Shmuel]

Check line 8759 in your input .txt file using programs like notepad or notepad++.

I seems that this row is corrupted and doesn't fit the previous lines format.

It can be, also, as a result of different block size.

The specific row data is displayed. Error starts at position 369 - according to log info.:

NOTE: Invalid data for INFbrmilk in line 8759 369-430.
