SAS Transport Format Files

[rogerotto]

working on CMS-HCC risk-adjustment model using SAS programs obtained from the government.

included are two SAS Transport files.  one contains a format library (F2419P1M) and the other (C2419P1M) contains relative coefficients for 9 regression models.

I am not a SAS user.

I need to have these two files converted to ascii files (.txt) so I can read and understand the SAS programs and macros also contained in the CMS download files.

I have downloaded SAS Universal Viewer but that does not seem to have the content of these files.

what other options might I have?

if someone can download the attached and convert for me that would be great!

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance

I downloaded your .zip. expanded it in my myfolders directory, and ran this code in University Edition:

libname myfolder '/folders/myfolders';

proc cimport
  infile="/folders/myfolders/DI_SAS/F2419P1M"
  lib=myfolder
;
run;

proc cimport
  infile="/folders/myfolders/DI_SAS/C2419P1M"
  lib=myfolder
;
run;

proc export
  data=myfolder.c2419p1m
  file='/folders/myfolders/c2419p1m.csv'
  dbms=csv
;
run;

proc transpose
  data=myfolder.c2419p1m
  out=myfolder.transposed
;
var _numeric_;
run;

proc export
  data=myfolder.transposed
  file='/folders/myfolders/tranposed.csv'
  dbms=csv
;
run;

I attached the two csv files resulting. The formats in the format catalog are not used in the dataset.

Would you be willing to repeat the process for C2419P1M from this file CMS-HCC and D2117P6R from the ESRD file? CMS has updated to HCC v24, so the prior file you extracted doesn't include all of the current weights.
