Hello everyone;

I tried to import a dataset and set the guessing row equal to 20,000. However, formats of the variables are nor what they should be. So I need to define formats of the variables. The following in my primary code.

proc import datafile="F:\Address of the file.txt"

            dbms=dlm

            out=test

            replace;

     delimiter='|';

     getnames=yes;

  Guessingrows=20000;

run;

I used the following code to define variable's format, but it didn't work.

proc import datafile="E:\Mobina\wo23370_LSU\Deposits\depositRateData_1998_03.txt"

            dbms=dlm

            out=depositRateData_1998_03

            replace;

format rate 5.3;

format apy 5.3;

format datesurveyed yyyymmdd10.;

format comment $30;

     delimiter='|';

     getnames=yes;

run;

I appreciate any suggestion.

You need to write a data step to import the file instead.

Your proc import will create the code in the log.  Copy and paste that from the log into the editor and edit it as needed.
