proc import csv file in sas studio healthcare data

[pandyat0]

Hello,

I am using proc import a file and I cleaned up titles (headers) with no space and headers no more than 13 letters. I also have code below. Just so you know, I am running SAS Studio on SAS Academy on Linux. Does it matter? Can you please tell me what is the problem and how do I resolve it? Thank you in advance. I also have head of data set for you to see below.

Libname OP2013"/saswork/SAS_work6A1C0000FE43_odaws04-prod-us/SAS_work0D5C0000FE43_odaws04-prod-us";

PROC IMPORT DATAFILE=op2013
		    OUT=WORK.op2013

		    REPLACE;

RUN;

Thank you for your time and suggestions.

Verify your TERMSTR with a text editor. If you can post a sample of the text file itself.

Also, I have used this code to make it work but did not understand guessingrows? and later found out i am using Linux, so use TERMSTR=LF

FILENAME op2013"/home/pandyat0/sasuser.v94/Outpatient_2013.csv" TERMSTR=LF;
/** Import the CSV file.  **/
PROC IMPORT DATAFILE=op2013
		    OUT=WORK.op2013
		    DBMS=CSV
		    REPLACE;
		    GETNAMES=Yes;
		    guessingrows=44353;
RUN;

Let me know what you think and how I can make a choropleth map of US in gplot by using address on this file to locate each hospital. 

Thanks in advance.

[Reeza]

GuessingRows tells SAS how many rows to read before it attempts to assign a variable type and format. It has nothing to do with your original issue, that was the TERMSTR.

Hi Reeza,
Thank you for clarifying that. I later looked at the file and figure out the problem. It was with titles, I should not have space or symbols within it. So I manually opened the file in excel and rename (or deleted spaces) from titles. Then I imported file again in SAS and it worked.

Hi Reeza,

I have imported the file and now I am trying to separate the first column where '-' is. And then I wanted to make new column and save the column as AmbuCode. So far, I have done this.  I want to know how I can save a new column from existing column after separating it from the first column. Here is code so far.

/**Separate the codes from the Ambulatory cause. I will separate the first column in two, where the '-' is,
 so I can see codes and cause separately. **/
data WORK.op2013AmbulatoryTitleCodes;
 infile "/home/pandyat0/sasuser.v94/Outpatient_CY2013.csv";
 input AmbulatoryPaymentClassificationG $ 1-85;
 AmbulCode = compress(AmbulatoryPaymentClassificationG,'-');/* removes - from first column*/
 AmbulRemoveQuote=compress(AmbulCode, '" "'); /* Removes Quotes from 0209 code*/
 AmbCodeOnly = substr(AmbulRemoveQuote, 1, 4); /*saves first four characters as code  */
 run;
 proc sql outobs=100;
   title 'Ambulatory Codes';
   select 'Ambulatory Code is', AmbCodeOnly
      from WORK.OP2013AMBULATORYTITLECODES;
run;

 The outcomes shows as Codes but I wanted that column to be its own, new column within the main dataset. How do i add that?

[Reeza]

Your code doesn't make a whole lot of sense? Why are you importing all the characters as a single variable?

You appear to have variable names and a delimiter of comma between fields.

Use SCAN() to separate components

x=scan(variable, 1, "-");

y=scan(variable, 2, "-");
