Hello,

 

I have a large data-set that I had to split into 360 smaller sets by value (byval), I need to export the smaller sets into individuals excel files .csv and im having trouble coming up with the proc export. Here is what i'm doing:    

 

Proc sort data = HQ.private; by hospital_system; run;

 

%macro break(byval);

      data &byval;

      set HQ.private(where=(hospital_system="&byval"));

      run;

%mend;

 

Data _Null_;

set HQ.private;

by hospital_system;

if first.hospital_system then

      call execute(%nrstr('%break('||trim(hospital_system)||')'));

run;

 

proc export

DATA=work.pih

DBMS=EXCEL

outfile="C:\Users\ekala1\Documents\HQAF\pih.xls"

replace;

run;

 

When I run my proc export, it does not execute. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

 

Ella

You say Excel CSV and then use DBMS=Excel and xls. Can you confirm exactly what is your desired file type? Is there any error messaged in your log? What does 'not execute' mean?

Hello Reeza, either will work xls or csv; also I am not getting any error messages my log. When i look in the designated folder the files are not there.

myabe im stupid but i dont see where the temp data set pih is created. Why not:

 

%macro break(byval);

      data &byval;

      set HQ.private(where=(hospital_system="&byval"));

      run;

 

proc export

DATA=&byvar

DBMS=EXCEL

outfile="C:\Users\ekala1\Documents\HQAF\&byvar.xls"

replace;

run;

%mend;
