Record end delimiter for a unix file in SAS

[ashishdubey]

Hi All,

Need your help for the following quries regaring delimiter end of record.

my source is unix file , having record delimiter (end of record) as "\r\n\n\n"  i.e CRLFLFLF" .

eg  record 1

   field A1 value

   field A1 value

   delim "\r\n\n\n".

Is there any limitations in SAS to have only CR or LF or CRLF only as record delimiter (End of record). Please suggest  , how to have end of record as "\r\n\n\n"

Thanks,

Check options termstr=


data have;
infile 'c:\temp\have.csv'  termstr=crlf ;
..........

I think you can use termstr=crlf to import such file.
If not , maybe you need to get rid of those extra \n .
