Subsetting data - Enterprise Guide

[gobejo]

Hi,

I have a .csv file of 1.5 million records. I was wondering if there is a way of subsetting only the first 200 records, just to see how the data looks.

Thanks,

Thomas

Lots of ways.

If you're importing via proc import or data step you can use

options obs=200;

*code to import;

options obs=max;

If you're on Unix or via powershell look at the head command of the file to display the first few lines.

When you open a dataset to look at it in EGuide, there is a default number of records that it reads (I think 1000).  You can change the default under tools --> options.
