Hi,
I am trying to import a CSV file using proc import. I have 2 variables in the CSV, one is numeric and other one is character which has values of lengths from 6-30 characters. I am able to create a sas dataset successfully, but the character variable's values are getting truncated. Does any one know how to fix this/how to change the variable length in proc import so that the values in the external file wont get truncated after importing it. I appreciate your input.

Thanks,
Pallavi.
