How to export with a control A character as delimiter and not giving any file extension like .txt or csv. just a flat file and no column names in output file.
proc export data=qc1
outfile='/idn/crdc//link/qc1
dbms=dlm;
delimiter='01x';
replace;
putnames=no;
run;
You have the syntax a bit off. Here I create a TEMP file write to it and use a data step to look at.
Like data_null_ suggests:
1. remove the semicolon after dbms=dlm
2. change your delimiter option from delimiter='01x'; to
delimiter='01'x;
but also 3. end your outfile statement filename with a single quote since you began it with a single quote.
