When dde "output" from sas to EXCEL, looking for a method of outputting data to be a new line in the EXCEL file.

 

For example, when I put "ABC" (actually A??B??C) to excel, and open the EXCEL , I want to see it as

A

B

C

"??" is a special code? "'0A'x"?

 

In the Internet,there is a information about How to "read" the EXCEL which including the new line code can be found , but there was no way of "output" or "export". please let me you know with your sample code?

 

Sincerely,t_ar_taat

It partly depend on EXCEL's Formatting of cell,

 

 

var= '"' || "a" || '0a'x || "b" || '"';

put var;

What is the code your using to put data out to DDE?  It should be just a matter of sending that special character as well.  However I will point out that DDE is well out of date (17years) and is not supported as such any more, so I would really suggest using one of the many other solutions to get data to Excel:
tagsets.excel

libname excel

proc export

CSV

SAS for Office Addin

Etc.
