I would like to create a permanent datasets that contains the first 1000 records of all the datasets in the work directory. I came up with this code:
%let workdsets =
will,
tom,
danny,
timmy
;
data datas.&workdsets._1000;
set work.&workdsets. (obs=1000);
run;
proc export data = datas.&workdsets._1000
outfile = "/xxx/xxxx/xxx/&workdsets._1000.csv"
dbms = csv replace;
run;
it didnt work. what can I do to efficiently create those data sets.
thanks,
will
Well:
data _null_;
set sashelp.vtable (where=(libname="WORK"));
call execute('proc export data=work.'||strip(memname)||' (obs=1000) outfile="...\'||strip(memname)||'.csv" dbms=csv replace; run;');
run;
The ... indicates path to location.
thanks RW9 it worked.
