Question

Currently I'm trying to import a .txt file to SAS, but I have one problem. The .txt I recieve has a columnthat looks this way

.......;2015/09/01 09:49;....

I need to import it as a date value not as a string. I've tryed many formats but none of them works correctly.

data aux;
infile  "&LIBIN/&fichero" delimiter = ';'  MISSOVER DSD lrecl=32767;

format fecha_mov .... ;
informat fecha_mov ....;
input
fecha_mov ;
run;

Thanks for the help in advanced,

Antonio,

Answer 1

The informat anydtdtm. works for me. https://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/64316/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a002605552.htm

data want;
infile cards dsd dlm=',';
informat dt anydtdtm.;
format dt datetime21.;
input dt;
cards;
2015/09/01 09:49
2015/09/01 08:49
2015/09/02 09:49
2015/09/05 09:49
;
run;

proc print; 
run;

Answer 2

我建议使用更具体的信息 - 如果源文件出现意外更改，则会消除anydtdtm.格式错误地解释它的风险。如果您使用:格式修饰符，则可以忽略时间部分，只需使用yymmdd10.：

data want;
infile cards dsd dlm=',';
input dt :yymmdd10. another_var $5.;
format dt yymmdd10.;
cards;
2015/09/01 09:49,dummy
2015/09/01 08:49,dummy
2015/09/02 09:49,dummy
2015/09/05 09:49,dummy
;
run;

proc print; 
run;

N.B。如果你不使用:，那么SAS在开始读入下一个变量之前不会将行指针移动到下一个分隔符。
