Tom is right to indicate this as a text file. I am happy to be back behind two 22 inch screens not a 7 inch single one. The content of this special text-file looks to be sgml. Standard Generalized Markup Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia a predecessor of current types. Using the university edtion..... - the 32767 has become standard instead of 255 - reading variable length added to Tom-s code. The automatic variable len is not stored - using the shortcut ikke for storing the file as sasuser is incessible. In fact an error on that will block the session (pop-up error?) needing a restart. For other url code not being txt type the streaming record approach would be more applicable adding an line/tag parser. 43 libname ikke "/folders/myshortcuts/ikke"; NOTE: Libref IKKE was successfully assigned as follows: Engine: V9 Physical Name: /folders/myshortcuts/ikke 44 45 data ikke.edgar ; 46 length text $32767 ; 47 infile 'http://www.sec.gov:80/Archives/edgar/data/1050122/0000927356-01-000365.txt' 48 url expandtabs truncover length=len ; 49 input text $varying32767. len ; 50 * list; 51 run; NOTE: The infile 'http://www.sec.gov:80/Archives/edgar/data/1050122/0000927356-01-000365.txt' is: Filename=http://www.sec.gov:80/Archives/edgar/data/1050122/0000927356-01-000365.txt, Local Host Name=localhost.localdomain, Local Host IP addr=::1, Service Hostname Name=www.sec.gov, Service IP addr=2.19.221.59,Service Name=N/A, Service Portno=80,Lrecl=32767,Recfm=Variable NOTE: 4820 records were read from the infile 'http://www.sec.gov:80/Archives/edgar/data/1050122/0000927356-01-000365.txt'.
