Hi,
How I can read flat files without reading header and footer,suppose I have an flat files with 100pages,I wanna to read those files into my sas environment ,without reading header and footer.
You mean that you file has header and footer, and you want wish to avoid those?
Header is on row 1 i guess, so just if _n_ = 1 then delete;
Footer, if yo are sure that there always is a footer, make use of the END= infile option.
And what do you mean that you have 100 pages in the file, what kind of file is it?
Thanks
thanks
Hi.
infile <filename> firstobs=2 will skip the first header record.
Thanks
Is there anything in your source which identifies a header and a footer? Eg. a column "record type"?
thanks
