Hi,
I would like to export a txt file with semicolon instead a comma, is it possible to do this without procedure? Are there any place in configuration where i can change the default comma to semicolon?
The question is for SAS enterprise guide
Thank you very much
Maria
I couldn't see anything in the GUI, but I would expect it to be there somewhere....
Otherwise, a proc export is straighforward, just change the path. However, if EG is on the server you can't export directly to your local drive, so that's a downside. Hopefully someone else has a better answer!
proc export data=sashelp.air outfile='c:\_localdata\temp\test.txt' dbms=dlm replace;
delimiter=';';
run;

With EG 7.12x select "Text Files"
Hi @mcnunes
As mentioned by @Reeza, proc export is an easy option to get what you're looking for.
But if you want to use the export mentioned by @andreas_lds, you ahve to be aware that the delimiter (comma or semicolon) will be delimited by the Region and Language settings, in particular the Format one.
If you select French for instance on your local machine (where SAS Enterprise Guide is installed), you'll have the semicolon.
But if you have English, comma will be your delimiter.
Changing that setting may have too much impact on your machine.
So an easy alternative would be to add the /culture:fr parameter to your EG shortcut
Your new TARGET value would look like this:
D:\opt\sasinside\SASHome\SASEnterpriseGuide\7.1\SEGuide.exe /culture:fr
Hope that helps.
Cheers,

with portuguese it's work too.
"C:\Program Files\SASHome\x86\SASEnterpriseGuide\5.1\SEGuide.exe" /culture:pt
