Hello,

 

I have a problem splitting a data set into multiple txt with title variables and data splitted by differents combinations of variables.

 

I have this code;

 

DATA _NULL_;
SET final_7;

call symput('HH',trim(left(put(H,Z2.))));
call symput('MI',trim(left(put(M,Z2.))));
call symput('SS',trim(left(put(S,Z2.))));
CALL SYMPUT("FECHAOUT",TRIM(LEFT(put(FECHA,YYMMDD6.))));
CALL SYMPUT("CCC",CAD);

 

FILE "&OUTPATH.\HK&fechaout.&HH.&MI.&SS.&CCC..TXT";
HFIN=HORNOT+DURANOT;
B='09'X;
IF _N_=1 THEN PUT @1 CADENA Z4. B PROG B HORNOT TIME. B HFIN TIME. B NOTICIA;
RUN;

 

DATA _NULL_;
SET final_7;

call symput('HH',trim(left(put(H,Z2.))));
call symput('MI',trim(left(put(M,Z2.))));
call symput('SS',trim(left(put(S,Z2.))));
CALL SYMPUT("FECHAOUT",TRIM(LEFT(put(FECHA,YYMMDD6.))));
CALL SYMPUT("CCC",CAD);


FILE "&OUTPATH.\HK&fechaout.&HH.&MI.&SS.&CCC..TXT" MOD;
B='09'X;
PUT @1 PATROC B HORPRE TIME. B DURPRE TIME. B MENCIO;
RUN;

 

 

this code writes an HK&fechaout.&HH.&MI.&SS.&CCC..TXT  with the variable titles and another one  with all data set without titles and without splitting.

 

I need differents txt files including in each file the variable names:

 

CADENA  ,PROG , HORNOT , HFIN ,NOTICIA;

 

and the data splitted by 

 

FECHAOUT , HH, MM, SS ,CCC 

 

with the data of these variables:

 

PATROC  HORPRE  DURPRE  MENCIO;

 

 

The txt files my be like this :

 

HK1908191630090006.txt       where 190919 is fechaout, 16 is HH, 30 is MM,09 is SS,and 0006 is CCC.

 

and data into file may be :

 

0001 Program 16:30:09 17:27:58   football         
Citroën 16:55:35 0:00:04 S
Citroën 16:55:50 0:00:03 S
Citroën 16:57:26 0:00:05 S
Salud 17:25:11 0:00:03 S
Salud  17:25:18 0:00:03 S

 

where 0001 is CADENA, Program is PROG ,16:30:09 is HORNOT, 17:27:58 is HFIN and football is NOTICIA

 

and the data from data set citroen is PATROC, 16:55:35 is HORPRE, 0:00:04 is DURPRE and football is MENCIO

 

many thanks!

See this example using sashelp.class as a source and the column sex as a group variable:

proc sort data=sashelp.class out=class;
by sex name;
run;

data _null_;
set class;
by sex;
fname = cats('$HOME/sascommunity/class_',sex,'.txt');
file dummy filevar=fname dlm=',' dsd;
if first.sex then put 'name,age,height,weight';
put name age height weight;
run;

And these are the resulting files:

class_F.txt:

name,age,height,weight
Alice,13,56.5,84
Barbara,13,65.3,98
Carol,14,62.8,102.5
Jane,12,59.8,84.5
Janet,15,62.5,112.5
Joyce,11,51.3,50.5
Judy,14,64.3,90
Louise,12,56.3,77
Mary,15,66.5,112

class_M.txt:

name,age,height,weight
Alfred,14,69,112.5
Henry,14,63.5,102.5
James,12,57.3,83
Jeffrey,13,62.5,84
John,12,59,99.5
Philip,16,72,150
Robert,12,64.8,128
Ronald,15,67,133
Thomas,11,57.5,85
William,15,66.5,112

@RZB 

There is too much detail in your question for me to try and provide code.  

I believe you're looking for FILEVAR. This SAS Note is eventually all you need: http://support.sas.com/kb/24/599.html
