    Reading in unusual var names from csv

    Thanks for the reply, I've managed to fix this by using: options validvarname=any ; proc datasets library=work; modify &&fname&i; rename _ = '!'n ; run; I've got quite a few csv files with different headers so didn't fancy lots of proc imports. Thanks SP

    Proc Import giving "VAR1-VARn"

    Thanks for the interest CW, do you mean 'getnames' and 'datarow', I tried them, didn't give us the result we were looking for as in my post '11 Sep 07 11:53' at the top. Are there any other options available within proc import? SP

    Proc Import giving "VAR1-VARn"

    Great Klaz this works fine, should be a solution to our needs, had to put a couple of 'LRECL=3000' comments at the end of my filenames to make sure I'm getting all the columns but it works a treat. Thanks very much. SP

    Proc Import giving "VAR1-VARn"

    Thanks for the quick reply, I'm afraid I can't use INFILE as there's too many VARS and multiple CSV files with different column headers to set up a generic programme to cover them all. Basically the CSV files I've been given aren't any good they've specifically been setup for another (tedious)...

    Assign filename in Proc Import

    Thanks for the swift response and that's useful stuff, but what I have are a list of .csv type files (for our purposes they are called.rpt) which I need to read in and for every .rpt file I need to assign a variable called 'projclas'. Projclas has to match the .rpt filename it's reading in as in...

    Assign filename in Proc Import

    ...datastep if I can? Needless to say I'll have multiple file to import and assign individual names for var 'projclass' in this example. Thanks SP :- proc import datafile ="C:\MPFS\u226aw.rpt" OUT=sp1 dbms=csv replace; getnames=yes; datarow=2; run; *; Data a1; set sp1; projclas='U226AW'; run;

    SAS and concatenated mixed data.

    Yep, I've had to do this, we've got about 16 different formats all concatenated together so I've set up 16 different import procedures in a macro which works o/k, bit of a pain tho. Anyway thanks for the reply. SP

    SAS and concatenated mixed data.

    ...but I can’t as the variables are mixed up in the concatenated dataset. I’d rather not individually set up an import procedure for every change of u****** as there’s loads plus the record length is 4000 so there are lots of vars as well. Any suggestions great fully received. Using JCL &...

    Arrays

    I've got quite a few variables, the array holds units and fund values for 50 versions, not to mention key variables. I've quickly tested your second suggestion and it seems to work fine, thanks very much. SP

    SAS and RETAIN

    Hello, I've been using retain to create a rolling summary of unit1 (see units1), what I need to do now is stop this rolling summary so I can use 'IF.LAST.covref' to give me lines I'm after i.e. obs8 obs16 obs23 obs30 (there are other variables but I can't fit them in here) to give me the sum of...
