Dear Team,
kindly any one helpon below issue...
Exporting sas data set to .txt format with delimiter as '|'
character value where ever null must replace with 8 space between two delimiter
ie., example
Name No Sal
Rajesh|2563|5600
Kumar|5698|6580
|4568|7560
Abcde|4812|2461
Can it is possible
Thanks in advance,
Ramesh Reddy
You could always just force it. E.g.:
data have;
input Name $ No Sal;
cards;
Rajesh 2563 5600
Kumar 5698 6580
. 4568 7560
Abcde 4812 2461
;
data _null_;
file "c:\outpipe.txt";
set have;
if missing(Name) then do;
want=catt('|',No,'|',Sal);
put @9 want;
end;
else do;
want=catx('|',Name,No,Sal);
put want;
end;
run;
Maybe
file ... dlm= '|' ;
put name $8. '|' no sal ;
The results should look like this:
Rajesh |2563|5600
Kumar |5698|6580
|4568|7560
Abcde |4812|2461
You can always change it after importing it.
data have; input Name $ No Sal; cards; Rajesh 2563 5600 Kumar 5698 6580 . 4568 7560 Ab 4812 2461 ; run; data _null_; set have ; file 'c:\x.txt' dlm='|'; put (_all_) (~); run; data _null_; infile 'c:\x.txt'; file 'c:\want.txt'; input; _infile_=prxchange('s/ (?=\|)/ /o',-1,_infile_); put _infile_; run;
