NEED TO PRINT RECORDS FROM AN ARRAY

[GOUSC]

I am really new to SAS am working on a mainframe program that reads in data that has several occurs (the copybook is a COBOL layout) and I have the following code :

I=0;
DO while (I <= carr_edit_cd_cnt);
INPUT
@AT edit_trlr_ind_cd $1.
@AT+1 nch_edit_cd $char4.
@;
AT=AT+5;
I=I+1;
END;

This appears to be correct, but when I put the dataout, I am only seeing the one record when I know that the carr_edit_cd_cnt has a value of 3. Do I need to write out separate datasets as I go and merge later or do I have to do the similar array on the put statement? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi GoUSC,

I guess you miss the output statement - if you do not do that, you end up in above example with one observation? Do something like this:

 I=0;
 DO while (I <= carr_edit_cd_cnt);
   INPUT
     @AT        edit_trlr_ind_cd  $1.
     @AT+1      nch_edit_cd       $char4.
     @;
   AT=AT+5;
   I=I+1;
   output;
 END;

... assuming that you write to a dataset...

Cheers,
Matthias

Thanks MatthiasB. I realized this after I posted the message. I appreciate your help. I just didn't realize this since SAS is so new to me but I am learning slowly.

Thanks again.
