Hello is there a way to shorten this?
data have;
infile ;
@5 var1 1.
@6 var2 1.
@7 var3 1.
@8 var4 1.
@9 var5 1.
@10 var6 1.
@11 var7 1.
@12 var8 1.
@13 var9 1.
@14 var10 1.
@15 var11 1.
@16 var12 1.
@17 var13 1.
@18 var14 1.
@19 var15 1.
@20 var16 1.
@21 var17 1.
@22 var18 1.
@23 var19 1.
@24 var20 1.
;
run;
the data im trying to export has no delimiters hence the width and column number.
I tried @5 var1-var20 but getting errors, how do I use the numbered range variable list with data that has no delimiters (i.e 1234567891011222222267)?
My obs:
1. export to where?
2. What kind of external file
3. what kind of delimiters you want to separate data
4. choice of statements such as file(routing to external file) and put is missing, why?
5. have you considered export procedure?
6. what is the null infile statement doing
and many more
infile 'test.txt';
Try it this way:
input @5 (var1-var20) (1.);
