Hi,

I have a Macro that writes dataset to Excel and creates different tabs in excel. I have fixed fields in excel as a columnwise like,

Sate
Country
Phone

I want the output to write next to the above fields columnwise. But when I run the job, only Sate value writes to excel.
*************
filename output dde "Excel|&a1.!r4c2:r7c2";
data _null_;
file OUTPUT;
set pclib.Test
put Sate Country Phone
RUN;
*************

I am pretty new to SAS and I appreciate any kind of help.

Thanks in advance.

I believe you need to place a tab between each of the output columns and use the notab option on the file statement.

file output notab;
put sate '09'x county '09'x phnone ;
