I have trying to append text files to a data mart, but I just don't seem to get it. Any help out there?
Can you provide more details?
I need to establish a sas data mart containing the text files and automated a SAS program to append to the datamart daily, alerting me of the success or failures of updates.
So a program that reads/imports the text file, appends to master data set. Schedule that program to run daily. Then decide what checks do you need.
If you write a program for a single day, perhaps we can help with the automation.
yes that is right.
Hi Reeza, if you like, I can send you a dummy text files to look at.
Data textinput;
INFILE "your text file" TRUNCOVER;
INPUT record :$256. ;
run;
proc APPEND base= collection data= textinput;
run ;
%put &syserr =syserr from proc append;
* see 45143 - Error trapping with PROC APPEND
