I want to create a simple dictionary of a dataset to a CSV file using ODS , below is the syntax
ODS CSV file= "C:\tmp\test.csv";
proc print data=datadictionary noobs label;
RUN;
ODS CSV CLOSE;
after submitting the code, a dialog window to 'open or save' the file appears, then another for 'Save as'...
How can save it directly to the directory and overwrite?
Thanks in advance.
If you don't need "pretty" formatting such as Proc Print provides then you might consider using proc export which will by-pass the ODS output and does not ask about opening files.
Proc export data=datadictionary
label
outfile="C:\tmp\test.csv"
replace /*<= this overwrites an existing file if present*/
run;
