Export issues with missing values

[aj34321]

D/All,

SAS programs when executed on SAS 9.1.3 produces a null for all missing value when exported to CSV where as SAS 9.4 produces a period ( . ) for all the missing values in the dataset.

Is there a way to resolve this defect without changing the code. I have 5000+ source codes hence cannot take risk of updating all the codes.

Experts request your advice.

Thanks to everybody.. This forum & all experts are really awesome & helpful for almost any kind of issues we guys face.

This is not a defect. Most likely your SAS 9.1.3 has the SAS MISSING option set and SAS 9.4 doesn't. Add the statement: OPTIONS MISSING  = ''; to SAS 9.4.

Are you using PROC EXPORT or ODS or ???
