Import

[Wken1122]

Hi,
I am importing a csv. file to SAS studio, but unsure what is the reason, it gains extra rows.
Note: on the csv file there are 5000 rows but after the import it became 5288 rows.
The following is the log;

Oh, and after checking the csv file, I don't see any error in the mentioned rows or columns in the log( for APPROVEDAMOUNT).

[ChrisBrooks]

Things seem to be going wrong before SAS reaches APPROVEDAMOUNT - the VALUE for LOSSTIME is truncated to two characters and I would expect a variable with the word "time" in its name to be a numeric variable anyway, not the character variable indicated by the input statement. There are a few other variables which look odd to me too in terms of their name and data type so I'm wondering if there was some pre-processing done which has caused the variable names and data to get misaligned...

[Wken1122]

The data are exported out from Oracle SQL Developer and no preprocessing are done.

How did you look at the file? NEVER verify csv data only with a spreadsheet program (Excel?) because they will assume lots of things about your data and sometimes hide things depending on the source.

Look at the data in a plain text editor like Notepad.

A common thing that Excel will hide are embedded linefeed characters that when you look at them in a text editor will look something like:

"this value",1234,567,"another value
with linefeeds",10/10/27

Excel will likely show that as one line but a basic proc import or data step generated is likely to see that as two lines and the numeric value runs into the / in the date and SAS reports Invalid data.

I might try modifying your proc import generated data step to incorporate the TERMSTR option, either TRMSTR=CRLF or TRMSTR=LF, one of which may ignore the extra line feed or carriage return if present as above.

Or have the ORACLE process strip CR or LF characters that are part of text fields and replace them with simple blanks.

[Kurt_Bremser]

Do NOT rely on proc import for data like this.

See that it tries to read

28/6/14-2/7/14

as a single datetime value with format anydtdtm40.

Such a field needs to be read as string, and then dissected into a start and end date value.

Either have such (not very clever) values fixed in the infile, or write a data step yourself that deals with it.

[Wken1122]

But that line is a comment line(explanation of reasons) in the excel file.

@Wken1122

Use guessingrows=max for Proc Import to first analyze all your data before defining the column types and lengths.

PROC IMPORT DATAFILE=REFFILE
  DBMS=CSV
  OUT=WORK.ODS_CLAIM;
  GETNAMES=YES;
  GUESSINGROWS=MAX;
RUN;

IF you've got SAS/Access to Oracle or SAS/Access to ODBC licensed then consider to directly and programmatically access the table in Oracle and not to manually copy/paste some text via Oracle Developer to SAS.

[Wken1122]

Unfortunately I don't have the license for it. And guessingrows only works after I removed all the columns that are not included into the next step.
Anyway thank you for your kind reply!

[Wken1122]

At the end, after i cleaned the data and try to import it again, it works fine.
Thank you for all your replies!
