Hi,

I have an excel file that I need to read into SAS but my operating system in SAS 9.2 will not allow me to use PROC IMPORT.  So I need to create an .csv file that is delimited by '|' and then convert the .csv file to SAS  Does anyone know how to convert execl to pipe delimited .csv file?  Thanks.

Pipe delimited is not CSV, it's a txt file.
