Hi All,

I am using the infile statement to import text files and I am trying to import everything EXCEPT the last row (as it is the Grand Totals). The last row is dynamic, it could be row 14 or row 20. Is there a way to import N-1 rows?

Thank you

 

 

data Work.Test ;
infile &DataFile dlm=',' firstobs=3 dsd;
length Time_Period $30;
input
Time_Period
ID
Customers

;

run;

infile &DataFile dlm=',' firstobs=3 dsd obs=nobs;

if _n_ = nobs then stop;
