Hello -- This is probably super simple and I am just overthinking things, but I am using SAS UE and am having issue reading in my data. It is saved in a different format than I am used to, and don't know if that is the issue, or what. It is a jcl file instead of csv, dat, sas, etc... I am utilizing the RCG survey data from 1991, which is available publicly through the NCES. When you download the files from their site, you get a jcl file for SAS and SPSS, and a dat file. I would like to use the dat file, but it doesn't have any variable names (so I don't have anything for an input statement in my example below), and when I asked the contact at the NCES, they said variable names are available in the jcl file. I have tried: DATA RCG; INFILE '/folders/myfolders/data/PC1P_SAS.JCL'; RUN; I did try another approach as well, but I either get an error that the file doesn't exist, or that the file does not contain any columns. I also tried attaching the file to this post, but it says the contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type. Maybe that's my problem? Any ideas?
