For details, see the SAS documentation for your operating environment. Operating Environment Information: The carriage-control characters that are written to a file can be specific to the operating environment.
Note: Some operating environments do not support pipes. The temporary file can be accessed only through the logical name and is available only while the logical name exists. Operating Environment Information: Additional specifications might be required when you specify some devices. Values in addition to the ones listed here might be available in some operating environments.
This variable, like automatic variables, is not written to the data set. This option is ignored for other types of output for example, formatted, column, and named. Any double quotation marks that are included in the data value are repeated.
When a variable value contains the delimiter and DSD is used in the FILE statement, the variable value will be enclosed in double quotation marks when the output is generated.
For example, the following code. If a quoted text string contains the delimiter and DSD is used in the FILE statement, then the quoted string will not be enclosed in double quotation marks when used in a PUT statement. When you write data to the output file, SAS transcodes the data from the session encoding to the specified encoding. You supply the variable name; SAS automatically assigns the value.
You supply the variable name; SAS assigns the value of the number of lines left on the current page to that variable. Operating Environment Information: Values for logical-record-length are dependent on the operating environment.
The system can move back and forth between the number of lines that are specified while composing them before moving on to the next set. It defines the structure of the data component and holds the results of the DATA step and binds that component to a table definition to produce an output object.
Without suboptions, the default table definition uses the variable's label as its column heading. If no label exists, the definition uses the variable's name as the column heading. In such a case, SAS discards the data item that exceeds the current line length, writes the portion of the line that was built before the error occurred, and issues an error message.
You can use the variable in the same way as any other variable, even as the target of an assignment. The variable is automatically retained and initialized to blanks.
Use the FILE statement to route this output to either the same external file to which procedure output is written or to a different external file. You can indicate whether carriage-control characters should be added to the file. See the SAS documentation for your operating environment before you use this statement. This functionality is briefly discussed here. Follow these guidelines:. Any such options that are used in the FILE statement are ignored. This character variable is automatically retained and initialized to blanks.
The following two methods are available:. The assignment statement updates the contents of the current output buffer and sets the buffer length to the length of 'string-in-quotation-marks' or character-expression. However, using an assignment statement does not affect the current column pointer of the PUT statement. In the following example, the assignment statement updates the contents of the current output buffer. The column pointer of the PUT statement is not affected:.
SAS creates the following output: This is from both, sir. Y is first assigned Something is here then Y is assigned is here. Write a report. Route output to the SAS output window. Point to the header information. Write a header on each page. These statements execute each time a new page is begun. Route output to the standard SAS output window. Begin a new page when there are fewer than seven lines left on the current page. Create a report and write it to a SAS output window. PRINT is the fileref.
Does your code only work in 9. Thank your Chris. I am trying to read a. I can run the first part and see that the zipfile contains only RPT So I tried to run this code.
Here is the error. What am I doing wrong. Hello Chris, sorry I just figured out why the error because the file name itself did not have the txt at the end. Can I use proc import without a dlm? Yes, but you might do better with just DATA step. I need to open a sas7bdat that is inside a zip file and I'm with problems into the output dataset. This file is without any variables.
Hi Mark, I can't help without more information. I am not sure but why are you using an input statement with a SAS data set? Shouldn't it be a set? Then SAS can read and process it like data. Is there a way to read the file info from the files inside the ZIP?
Size, Creation date. Yes, with SAS 9. Here's a quick hit -- will work up a more complete example later. I've just created a blog post with a full example. There are two methods, but each has drawbacks. However, this requires the ability to run shell commands from SAS, and many centralized SAS environments have that disabled for security. I tried to replicate your example above and it worked just fine.
The rest is exactly the same as yours; all I did was try to create a macro variable with the value of memname in the contents step and use that in the infile statement. I tried using double quotes. I even tried macrotizing just parts of the path and it seemed to work fine. However, now I'm having another issue which is that work.
It has the full set of variables, but no records are being output into the file. Do you have any ideas for how I can troubleshoot this?
Jenna, I think I would need to see your complete program in order to troubleshoot. If you don't want to post as a comment, you can send as e-mail to chris. Super useful thread - thanks Chris and everyone who replied! I compiled some of these tips zip listing, the fcopy approach into a macro, which will take a zip file and copy the contents out into a directory location. Just two parameters:. Thanks for this post. May I ask something? I found that the following minimized version also works.
Are they necessary? What are they doing? Sorry to bother you. Basically, the program reads a number of bytes from the input stream, and writes them to an output file. The EOF indicator tells the program we've reached end-of-file for input, so stop processing. For SAS Studio? I don't have an example handy for this, but for SAS Studio you can reference this doc. This code works extremely well if the files are simply inside the zip file.
But if there is a folder in the zip folder, like this:. The 'isFile' value that you included works, but is there a way I can extract files if a folder is inside the zip file?
I am working with a. I'm afraid you'll have to do this in multiple steps. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Andrew Ziem on May 11, pm. Andreas Menrath on May 26, pm. Chris Hemedinger on May 26, pm.

Are we assuming that the contents of the zip file are as XLSX? What if the data is a CSV? If you call the OPEN function from a macro, then the result of the call is valid only when the result is passed to functions in a macro. An open SAS data set should be closed when it is no longer needed.
OPEN defaults to the strongest access mode available in the engine. Otherwise, data sets are opened with sequential access, and a system-level warning is set. Note that in a macro statement you do not enclose character strings in quotation marks. This example passes values from macro or DATA step variables to be used on data set options.
