sas - SAS 中的自动导入

Question

我来自 SQL Server 背景，是使用 SAS 的新手。要将平面文件自动导入 SQL Server，我会使用 SQL Server Integration Services 包并通过 Management Studio 安排一个作业来获取和导入文件。

我如何在 SAS 中做同样的事情。我所做的研究表明，SAS Management Console 有一个调度插件，但我如何创建一个执行导入的作业？我在企业指南中这样做吗？

Answer 1

The job that does the import would presumably be a short SAS program that reads the file in. You would indeed manage that in EG, if that's what you're using to manage the general process flow (for servers I imagine it would be). You can either use an import wizard, write a PROC IMPORT statement, like:

proc import file="whatever.csv" out=dsetname dbms=csv replace;
run;

if it is a CSV, or write a data step if it's not a delimited file (or, even if it is):

data dsetname;
infile "whatever.txt";
input
@1 varname $8.
@10 varname2 $5.
@16 varname3 4.
;
run;

The latter is the most flexible, but does require knowing the data completely; a PROC IMPORT can read the header row from a delimited file and make reasonable guesses as to the width of fields.
