I am trying to read a number of FIX TAGS but can not guarentee the order that the tags will be placed in a file and between different files.. Is there a way to use the @ pointer in a way where the tag of interest is not always in the same order reletive to the other tags? Should I consider a different method to get the data I need? Maybe substring?
data ccgINmsgs;
infile &ccgorderspath &ccgrecord &readlength;
input timein 19.
@'35=' inmsgtype :$1.
@'49=' sendercompid :$30.
@'52=' fixtimein :$21.
@'11=' clordid :$50.
@'55=' symbol :$7.;
humantimein = input(substr(fixtimein,10,8), time8.);
humanDATEin = input(substr(fixtimein,1,8), ANYDTDTE8.);
complete_timein = dhms(humanDATEin,0,0,humantimein);
format complete_timein datetime16.;
format humanDATEin DATE8.;
*ns_timein = input(substr(timein,10,9), 9.);
RUN;
sample data: this string breaks because tag 52 comes before 49. this is out of the expected order.
