Hello-

I have the following code and need to place a carriage return at a specific position in a text file.  The start position of the carriage return/CRLF must be at 325.  Can anyone help me?

DATA _NULL_;

file 'I:\ENCTv1.TXT' LRECL= 325;

   IF _N_ = 1 THEN DO;

   SET LEVEL_HDR;

   PUT

@1  FILE_TYPE

@51 TOTAL_RECORDS_IN_FILE

@61 FILE_NAME

@86 FILE_ID

@118 FILE_RPT_PERIOD;

END;

SET LEVEL_body;  

PUT @1 RECORD_NUM @11 ZIP @13 AGG_NUM @15 AGG_ID  @49 TABLE_NAME @69 GRADE

    @84 RESI @114 TOTAL_INDICATOR  @315 COUNT;

RUN;

Add the FILE statement option PAD.

data _null_;
  
file '~/exp.txt' dsd pad lrecl=75;
  
set sashelp.class;
   put (_all_)(=);
   run;
data _null_;
  
infile '~/exp.txt';
  
input;
  
list;
  
run;

Awesome!  Placed the carriage return at 325- but now I have a blank row record after every data record??

Why not use :

file '~/exp.txt' dsd pad lrecl=75 termstr=CRLF;
