comma delimited

[DKY]

I uploaded a .CSV file and it now has double quotes and periods in it so I'm trying to read it in as a delimited file to no avail. I have data that looks like:
.~".R.o.w. .#.".,.".S.D.A.T.E.".,.".L.E.V.E.L.1.".,.".L.E.V.E.L.2.".,.".S._.P.R.

and my sas to read it in looks like:
DATA A;
INFILE FCST12C DLM=',' LRECL=100 FIRSTOBS=2;
INPUT
ROW:$20.
FDATE:$27.
NAV_PN $
PDC $
OLDFCST $
CURFCST $
RCRDTYPE $
;

Is there a way to get rid of the double quotes and the periods in the infile statement?

Here is code, try this-

data a1;
set a;
row = compress (row, '" " ');
fdate= compress (fdate, '" " ');
nav_pn= compress (nav_pn, '" "');
pdc= compress (pdc, '" "');
oldfcst= compress (oldfcst, '" "');
curfcst= compress (curfcst, '" "');
rcrdtype= compress (rcrdtype, '" "');
run;

And for periods you can use same method, instead of " " you should put .

 

[noway320]

here is total code-

data a1;
set a;
row = compress (row, '" " ');
fdate= compress (fdate, '" " ');
nav_pn= compress (nav_pn, '" "');
pdc= compress (pdc, '" "');
oldfcst= compress (oldfcst, '" "');
curfcst= compress (curfcst, '" "');
rcrdtype= compress (rcrdtype, '" "');
run;

data a1;
set a1;
row = compress (row, '.. .. ');
fdate= compress (fdate, '.. .. ');
nav_pn= compress (nav_pn, '.. ..');
pdc= compress (pdc, '.. ..');
oldfcst= compress (oldfcst, '.. ..');
curfcst= compress (curfcst, '.. ..');
rcrdtype= compress (rcrdtype, '.. ..');
run;

Ah, compress. Why didn't I see that? Thanks! This works!

ROW = COMPRESS(COMPRESS(ROW, '"'), '00'X);
FDATE = COMPRESS(COMPRESS(FDATE, '"'), '00'X);
NAV_PN = COMPRESS(COMPRESS(NAV_PN, '"'), '00'X);
PDC = COMPRESS(COMPRESS(PDC, '"'), '00'X);
OLDFCST = COMPRESS(COMPRESS(OLDFCST, '"'), '00'X);
CURFCST = COMPRESS(COMPRESS(CURFCST, '"'), '00'X);
RCRDTYPE = COMPRESS(COMPRESS(RCRDTYPE, '"'), '00'X);
