i used the below statement to import data :

proc import file="path:xyz\folder\data.csv"
out=Vendor
dbms=dlm
replace;
getnames= yes;
guessingrows=MAX;
datarow = 2;
run;

 

but i getting the data values being split into different columns and not coming under same columns as in raw data.

Re: impot CSv data file and read the data in correct column in sas

There is no SAS 9.8 version.  To check the version of SAS that you are using check the first few lines of the SAS log.  Or if you are using some front end application to submit your SAS code (such as Enterprise Guide or SAS/Studio) so it is hard to see the actual SAS log then check the automatic macro variable SYSVLONG.

Example:

1   %put &=sysvlong;
SYSVLONG=9.04.01M5P091317

If you are having trouble viewing the text file with other tools you can always just use the SAS data step to look at the file. Use the LIST statement to dump the lines read to the SAS log.  You can use the OBS= option of the INFILE statement to limit the number of lines read.  (Or combine the FIRSTOBS= and OBS= option to read a range of lines in the middle of the file).

Example:

data _null_;
  infile 'myfile.csv' obs=10;
  input;
  list;
run;

What you show is NOT CSV data in any of the normally accepted meanings.

If you have text, copy some of the text lines including the header from the file using a non-spreadsheet program such as Notepad. On the forum open a text box using the </> icon that appears above the message box and paste the text.

 

Make sure to include a couple of the lines that do not align as you expect.

 

Note: if you saved the file after opening with a spreadsheet program your data may have changed and not be the same as it was originally. Spreadsheets are obnoxious that way.

You're missing delimiter= option in the proc import query.

I'm not sure what is the format of your input data but here are few examples to refer:

 

 

delimiter=' ';  /* for space-delimited data */
delimiter='09'x;  /* for tab-delimited data*/
delimiter='&';  /* for data separated by "&" */

Posted 09-02-2022 11:19 AM (2622 views)  |   In reply to Sri_devi

You posted a table and not lines from a text file so we cannot tell what you file actually looks like.

You told PROC IMPORT that space was the delimiter in the file, but normally a CSV file uses comma as the delimiter.  Hence the name: Comma Separated Values.

 

You can use DBMS=CSV instead of DBMS=DLM

and/or add the DELIMITER statement to tell PROC IMPORT exactly which character to use a the delimiter (some places, especially in areas that use comma for the decimal point on numbers, use semicolon as the delimiter in files that they still call CSV files).

If I copy the last line of that table you posted in your question (and then convert the TAB characters into PIPE characters so they are VISIBILE to humans then I get this mess:

Someone has accidentally embedded END OF LINE characters into the MIDDLE of some of the values in your data.

To make the text file parsable you need to get rid of those end of line characters.  Since they do not appear to have added quotes around them (which is how EXCEL would write such gibberish) then it will be more difficult.

If you just have a handful of such messed up lines then just fix it using a text editor (such as the SAS program editor).

Then PROC IMPORT should be able to handle it.

Re: impot CSv data file and read the data in correct column in sas

Posted 09-04-2022 02:04 PM (2542 views)  |   In reply to Sri_devi

Where is the CSV file? You posted another TABLE.  A CSV file is just text.  Something like:

Name,Sex,Age,Height,Weight
Henry,M,14,63.5,102.5
James,M,12,57.3,83
Jane,F,12,59.8,84.5
Janet,F,15,62.5,112.5

If you created the CSV file from Excel then the cells with embedded end of line characters should be quoted, so you can use the logic in this program to replace those characters so that SAS can read the right number of lines from the CSV file.

Hi, Can you please tell me how convert the TAB characters into PIPE characters?

also as you have mentioned " Someone has accidentally embedded END OF LINE characters into the MIDDLE of some of the values in your data.
To make the text file parsable you need to get rid of those end of line characters. Since they do not appear to have added quotes around them (which is how EXCEL would write such gibberish) then it will be more difficult.
If you just have a handful of such messed up lines then just fix it using a text editor (such as the SAS program editor).


How edit and fix this?

Just to update , The table of raw data in given as Microsoft excel worksheet. I want to import in sas and work on reconciliation report. Please help me to import this table data into sas. As when i am doing using Proc import the data under specific columns as not getting imported correctly, it is spiting data values (Is it due to space between the data vales?) giving incorrect data under each columns.Please can anyone help to import his microsoft Excel worrksheet into SAS. other thin is I am using SAS 9.8 where it is not allowing me to import the excel hence i coverted the file to CSV file and import data.

Which format is the source file? 

Is it a text file, like the CSV file you mentioned in the original question.

 

Or is it an Excel file? If it is an Excel file which type is it? Is it the old XLS file format or the new XLSX file format.  You should not have any issues with spaces (or even end of line characters) when reading from an actual Excel file.  But you also have no control over what type of variable (or for character variables what length) will be created.  That will be determined by the contents of the columns in the Excel file.  If the column has any cell that is a character string (or all of the cells are empty) then SAS will create a character variable.  Only if all of the cells in the column have numbers will SAS create a numeric variable.

There is no SAS 9.8 version.  To check the version of SAS that you are using check the first few lines of the SAS log.  Or if you are using some front end application to submit your SAS code (such as Enterprise Guide or SAS/Studio) so it is hard to see the actual SAS log then check the automatic macro variable SYSVLONG.

Example:

1   %put &=sysvlong;
SYSVLONG=9.04.01M5P091317

If you are having trouble viewing the text file with other tools you can always just use the SAS data step to look at the file. Use the LIST statement to dump the lines read to the SAS log.  You can use the OBS= option of the INFILE statement to limit the number of lines read.  (Or combine the FIRSTOBS= and OBS= option to read a range of lines in the middle of the file).

Example:

data _null_;
  infile 'myfile.csv' obs=10;
  input;
  list;
run;
