Hi all,
I was just wondering has anyone come across this problem and how did they resolve it.
I currently have a file of 1910 columns and when I export this using SAS 9.3 not all of the columns are exported, however if I was to do this in SAS 9.1 it is exported fine. As all computers have now been upgraded to SAS 9.3 I was just wondering has anyone over come this problem?
It really isnt ideal to split in two if it can be avoided.
Many thanksx
What are you exporting to, Excel, CSV? And how are you exporting?
Sorry exporting as a space delimited file and the code used is
*exporting the file;
%let location=Y:\6047\Deidre\GWAS\sequence\chr18_seq\imputation\;
data _NULL_;
call symput('output_file', compress("'"||"&location."||"impute_18_Secondhalf2"||'.bgl'||" ' "));
run;
quit;
filename file1 &output_file. lrecl=1048576;
proc export outfile=file1 dbms=dlm data=unrelated replace; run;
So SAS will perfectly export the first 900 columns or so but is missing the remainder.
Have the lengths of your variables changed? If so LRECL may need an increase.
Also CONTENT sometimes causes problems such as text fields containing what ever your OS interprets as an end of line or new line character.
