put text file without header

[jimksas]

i am trying to put text file out without header - how can i do that - please help

filename text1 "d:\text_file_name";

data _null_;

file text1 dlm="|";'

set sashelp.class;

put var1 var2 var3 var4;

run;

From the manual:

FILE PRINT <NOTITLES> <FOOTNOTES>;

directs output to the SAS procedure output file. Place the FILE statement before the PUT statements that write to that file. The NOTITLES option suppresses titles that are currently in effect, and makes the lines unavailable for writing other text. The FOOTNOTES option, along with the FOOTNOTE statement, writes a footnote to the file.

how can we perform it from code perspective - because this piece of code should goes with automation...

Thank you...

have you tried ods csv on a large table?

Last time I tried it took much longer than the datastep solution.

/* Using the PutName=No output file doesnot have any kind of headers */

proc export data=Out outfile="C:\Users\lakshman\Desktop\New Folder\Out.txt"

dbms=dlm replace;

delimiter="|" ;

putname=no;

run;
