The names are listed in a single row of data, ie " ID|Location|Date...." The raw data is given in a similar structure. For the final output I want the variable names listed in columns across the top and the observations listed below, just like they would be in a standard excel file. My first thought was to import the raw data first with getnames=no, then rename the variables (this is before I realized there were roughly 2000 of them) Next I thought I could import them both separately then merge them together somehow but then when I try to import the names file I get the following error message: Unable to sample external file, no data in first 5 records. ERROR: Import unsuccessful. See SAS Log for details.
