I am wondering how come you remember exactly each code like that, I am overwhelmed by how fast you reply to me, can I ask about the experience though?

I started with SAS 6.12 in 1997 and haven't finished learning yet, although I've been programming in SAS in each and every job/project since then. The amount of SAS-related topics that I'm planning to learn is still immense.

Good luck with your studies!

Just look at the files using SAS code instead of some random GUI tool.

Make a view and a dataset.

data myview / view=myview ;
  set sashelp.class;
run;
data mydata ;
  set sashelp.class;
run;

Look at them.

data _null_;
  infile "%sysfunc(pathname(work))/myview.sas7bvew" recfm=f lrecl=80;
  input;
  list;
run;
data _null_;
  infile "%sysfunc(pathname(work))/mydata.sas7bdat" recfm=f lrecl=80;
  input;
  list;
run;

Hi @Tom 

Thank you @Tom 

A great way for me to read the file by using log.

Warm regards.

Phil.
