I'm trying to get a file reader to render a csv with double quotes as the text identifiers. 

When have the infile statement displayed I see the dsd option specified. 

I thought this would strip out the " around the values. 

 

Still have issues getting the file to be rendered. 

Still researching infile statements to see if I need to override. 

 

Any suggestions

 

 

Regards,

Jonathan

Resolved with format and informat and was able to get the file reader to render results. 

Was just a matter of the right formatting. 

the DSD removed the "". 

 

infile '/data/asyouwish/blah/blah/blahblah/sourcefiles/*.csv'
lrecl = 500
delimiter = ','
dsd
missover
firstobs = 2;
