convert csv to sas7bdat

[hodgeswc]

Hello, 

I was wondering how I can convert a csv file into sas as a sas7bdat file. Or, if easier, an xls file into sas as a sas7bdat file. 

Thanks

Both can be done most easily using proc import.

CSV is easier, please see the videos here that illustrate how to accomplish most basic tasks:

For my part, I would recommend that you file...import data, and follow the wizard's instructions.  Once the wizard has completed, it will output the infile code that you may use to import your dataset.  Copy the code, and paste it into the editor.  Modify it as needed, and save it for future use.
