How to open a very large csv file

[latte747]

When I try to open a very large csv file, it keeps saying an error message as below. How can I open it? If it's the matter of raw data file, then how can I open a very large csv file?

proc import out = work.linkup1 datafile = "C:\Users\Desktop\file.csv"; run;

Looks like you tried to get SAS to guess how to read the data by using PROC IMPORT.

Probably going to be much easier to just write your own data step to read it.  Then you can do things like read the questionable fields as character to start with and check out what they contain before deciding if perhaps they are really numbers or dates.  

Plus you can force things like ZIP codes that might LOOK like numbers to be the strings they really are.

Plus you can write much clearer and easy to maintain code that PROC IMPORT generates.

data LINKUP1 ;
  infile 'C:\Users\Desktop\file.csv' TRUNCOVER DSD lrecl=32767 firstobs=2;
  length
    hash $32 title $80 company_id 8 company_name $50 
    city $20 state $30 zip $10 country $3 
    created 8 last_checked 8 last_updated 8 delete_date 8
    unmapped_location $5 onet_occupation_code $10
  ;
  informat created last_checked last_updated delete_date B8601DZ35. ;
  format created last_checked last_updated delete_date datetime19. ;
  input hash -- onet_occupation_code ;
run;

Scenario 1 in the blog here explains what happens and how to resolve it using Proc Import.

Fully writing your own code as @Tom suggests will give you the most control over how SAS converts external data into SAS variables. It's certainly what one should be doing for any data import that isn't adhoc (i.e. run on a monthly bases for new external data).

You can always use Proc Import generated code as a starting point.

[Kurt_Bremser]

Zipcodes are codes, not numbers used for calculations. Since they can also contain characters (as seen here for England and Canada), read them as character.

Don't burden yourself with PROC IMPORT when reading csv files, write the data step yourself, using the file documentation (you have one, don't you?).

[ballardw]

Those invalid data messages have nothing to do with the size of the file. The code generated by Proc Import guessed that Zip was numeric.

You might try going back to the import step and and add the GUESSINGROWS=MAX option, or at least set the value for guessingrows to a largish number like 10000 so more rows are read before properties set.

The default behavior of Proc Import, which is used by wizards or tasks, is to examine only about 20 rows of data to set properties. Since the first time that the postal code (Zip) is not all digits is on line 26 in the data file

NOTE: Invalid data for zip in line 26 93-96

 I am fairly sure that is what happened. You have have other text fields that are truncated, likely candidates are Company_name and Title.

Or you can copy that code from the log, paste into the editor, remove the line numbers and change the informats to character like Zip $10. and longer values for Company_name, title, City and URL.

If you have a file description that says how long text fields should be from the source I would use that to make sure the entire file is read properly.

[Ksharp]

Try add one more option GUESSINGROWS=

proc import out = work.linkup1 datafile = "C:\Users\Desktop\file.csv" dbms=csv replace; 
guessingrows=max;
run;

[Reeza]

Is that private data that you're ok releasing to the public? Your log is containing a lot of information about your data set. It looks like you're trying to read Canadian Postal Codes which are not numeric and you've set ZIP to be numeric.
