Works. Thanks a bunch.

Thank you to both of you guys, Arthur and Tom, for your excellent answers. Your answers both contributed in solving the issue. I just thought that your post has the full code for future readers in case they are in the same case. I just noticed that Tom's post has also the full code so I will go ahead and put his as the right answer then. But really, thank you to the both of you.

I would argue that you should kind of dig in your heels and insist on the paired t test. I would argue that too, unless it is a homework assignment ...

Thanks Chris. This method works in SAS windows. But not in EG. If I put PROC SQL; then the abbrevation won't show up (It works in open code).

I personally cannot stand that type of "boxed" comment blocks. It is a waste of time and effort to create. Detracts from the readability of the comments and makes it harder to edit the content of the comment. Not to mention the number of hours wasted debugging programs only to discover there is an extra * or | out in column 150 that is invisible in the editor because it is off the screen.

Thanks Chris, Modernization would be lovely. We just finished the jump off of XP, so I may not see the Win2003 server upgraded until it too hits the End-of-life wall. : )

I tried using the OLEDB and ODBC engines to create text files (.csv) but that didn't work. The only way I can think of is : ods listing file="Consultations\SAS Community\Reports\test.txt" style=normalPrinter; options nodate nonumber formchar="|----|+|---+=|-/\<>*"; title; proc sql; select * from sashelp.class; quit; ods listing close; PG

Consider the case when you try to read 10 characters (for example when using $10. informat) into variable NAME and there are only 5 left on the line. With MISSOVER the NAME will be missing, but with TRUNCOVER the five characters will be used as the value of NAME. MISSOVER should normally never be used. Exception might be when you know that if the value is short it will be invalid (say a phone number or zip code). You will frequently see programs coded to use MISSOVER and PAD. This is result of old programs (or old habits) from before the TRUNCOVER option was added. When you combine MISSOVER and PAD then you will get the same results as TRUNCOVER.
