How to create a sparse matrix?

[BartV]

Hello,

Currently we have some problemes with using SAS.

We have used the following code

PROC IMPORT OUT= WORK.FRAUD

DATAFILE= "C:\..."

DBMS=CSV REPLACE;

     GETNAMES=YES;

     DATAROW=2;

RUN;

This datafile contains 3958352 records.

Now we want to make a sparse matrix from this datafile.

Do you guys know how we can do this?

We found some example code on the internet:

x = {3 1.1 0 0 ,

  1.1 4 0 3.2,

  0 1 10 0 ,

  0 3.2 0 3 };

a = sparse(x, "sym");

print a[colname={"Value" "Row" "Col"}];

But we don't know how to say that x containts the dataset work.fraud.

We couldn't find anything on the sas community.

Kind regards
