Invalid data error

[sks521]

Hi folks,

I am importing a data set using proc import as below;

{

proc import datafile = 'I:\cYorkshire Project\Care pathway for asthma\Sarwat\Data\Datasets\2019-04-01-ace\ACE_AE_20190401.csv'
out = AandE
dbms = csv;
run;

}

However get errors in multiple places, Please can someone see the log and tell me where has it gone wrong;

{

5 proc import datafile = 'I:\cYorkshire Project\Care pathway for
5 ! asthma\Sarwat\Data\Datasets\2019-04-01-ace\ACE_AE_20190401.csv'
6 out = AandE
7 dbms = csv;
8 run;

That's why one DOES NOT use proc import.

Proc import is trying to read 'NA' as a numerical value.

Increase the guessingrows= value, so that the 'NA' are caught; but that is only half the issue. Most probably you want to have numeric values in there, so you first have to read these as character into a temporary variable, and then convert the contents:

if _aerefsource ne 'NA' then aerefsource = input(_aerefsource,best.);
drop _aerefsource;

(if _aerefsource is 'NA' then aerefsource will stay missing, as intended)

Thanks, 

So I have now tried writing up 'Infile' statement to get my data into SAS as follows;

{

Any help will be much appreciated.

When reading from a delimited file you should use LIST MODE input style. Not FORMATTED mode. This means if you include an informat specifications in the INPUT statement they must be preceded by the colon modifier.

        aearrivaldate :DDMMYY10. 

PS. Putting { } around your code doesn't really do anything in the forum editor. Use the Insert Code button in the editor to get a pop-up window to paste the block of code.

Note: It is normally a lot easier to just define the variables using a LENGTH statement instead of forcing SAS to guess how to define them by how you first use them in other statements like, INPUT, FORMAT, INFORMAT or assignments.  If you define them in the order they appear in the input then your input statement can just use a positional variable list.

input aekey-- imd15decile_overall;

[Ksharp]

As Kurt pointed out . 

Add 

guessingrows=max ;

into your PROC IMPORT .

[Tom]

Can you ask the creator of the file to NOT put those NA strings into the numeric columns?

Or perhaps you can just pre-process the file and remove them and then import from the cleaned up file?

data _null_;
  INFILE 'I:\CHCSheffield\20190401ACE\ACE_AE_20190401.csv' dsd truncover length=len column=cc ;
  FILE 'I:\CHCSheffield\20190401ACE\ACE_AE_20190401_fixed.csv' dsd;
  length string $500 ;
  do until(cc > len);
    input string @ ; 
    if string = 'NA' then string=' ';
    put string @;
  end;
  put;
run;

Wish I could! Data is extracted from the National Health Services routine data and observations with NA in these fields are needed in further analysis.

[Tom]

You can also generate a user defined INFORMAT that will translate the NA into missing or special missing.

For example you could read them as .N using this informat defintion.

proc format ;
invalue na 'NA'=.N other=_same_;
run;

data test;
  informat x na. ;
  input x ;
cards;
1
2.3
NA
5.6
;
proc print; run;

Thanks but how do I incorporate the rest of input fields in this syntax.

You don't. Use the step I posted to fix the file. Then write a new step that reads the fixed file.

Why aren't you using the DSD option when reading the data?

[sks521]

Used it but it's still not solving the problem because when I print eaarrivaldate variable, it's giving me 0 observations.

Now that you have removed the NA text from the numeric fields why are you still reading them as character variables?  Does you file have a header row? You don't have FIRSTOBS=2 to skip over it.  You also didn't include the TRUNCOVER option (a large improvement over the older MISSOVER option) to prevent SAS from going to the next line if the last variable's value is missing.

Did you try asking PROC IMPORT to try to guess how to define the variables now that the NA text is gone?

When writing my own data step to read from a delimited file I find it much easier to first DEFINE all of the variables using a LENGTH statement. If you define them in the order they appear in the input data then the INPUT statement can just use a simple position based variable list. Like:

INPUT aekey -- imd15decile_overall ;

If any of the variables NEED them you can use INFORMAT and/or FORMAT statement to then attach informats or formats to the variables. For most data SAS does not need to have either and informat or a format attached. The main exception are DATE, TIME and DATETIME values.
