With SAS Studio, Is there an easy way to read in a fixed width format .txt file?
Thanks
Do you have a document with column descriptions such as variable name start -end column for each field and the data format (currency, date, time, datetime, numeric, numeric with implied decimals, text)?
Thanks - SAS STUDIO does not have a point and click for fixed width files.
Just so you know, there's a lot we want to do to the Import Tool. Right now it can handle basic importing of common file types and generates PROC IMPORT code. Seemed like a good place to start. But ulitmately, I'd love to have a "DATA step generator" that would allow you to view a sample of your raw file and help you build the INPUT statement for it. We don't have that yet. I'd love to hear any ideas or pointers to any good examples of something similar out there.
