I’m given a text file, fix position, with over 500 variables in it. I’m not told which ones are numeric and which are character so I read them all in as characters. Is there a quick and easy way to get SAS to convert the one that could be numeric?
Hi:
This is not really an ODS or BASE reporting question. You could look up how the INPUT statement works and the INPUT function (to turn a character variable into a number) or you could contact Tech Support for help with this specific question. http://support.sas.com/techsup/contact/index.html
