Hello all,

I'm trying to create a text file, and print it. However, it did not show anything in the output. I use sas univeristy edition.

I really not sure that 

A shared folder named "myfolders" was not found on the virtual machine. See the FAQ for details.

this message that show in the notification effect the problem or not.

It seems that the output text file was created fine.

I don't see any code for printing it. The put statemane writes to the output text file.

Oh, my silly mistake Thx.

You're reading from the same file you're writing back to (soccer.txt). That makes it hard to test and check anything. I would suggest changing the second file to a different name to see if you get what you need. The other big issue with this type of coding is that you've destroyed the original file, so if you did it wrong and replaced the file, which it looks like you did, you'll have to replace your original soccer file to start again.

Your code is reading a text file and then writing back to that text file some of the variables. I suspect this isn't what you want. 

Do you want to import a text file into SAS and then use PROC PRINT to display your data?
