Hi,

I am trying the below:

filename outfile '/camidata/usr_data/v32516/LEGAL_COMPLIANCE.txt' NEW;
 
proc printto print=outfile;
run;

proc print data=ABC_waterfall;
title 'WATERFALL DETAILS';
run;

But if I run the program again, it is appending to the contents of the file rather than creating it all over again.

Could someone help?

Put NEW in the proc printto statement.

HI  Karthik

"NEW" option is available in Proc Printot procedure,it clears any information that exists in a file and prepares the file to receive the SAS log or procedure output.

You can not use that in Filename statement.

Use NEW option in Proc Printto procedure as suggested by Data_null_

 

Syntax:

proc printto print='output-file' new;

run;



Thanks &Regards.
