从FTP读入数据

read raw data via FTP in SAS?

SAS has the ability to read raw data directly from FTP servers. Normally, you would use FTP to download the data to your local computer and then use SAS to read the data stored on your local computer. SAS allows you to bypass the FTP step and read the data
directly from the other computer via FTP without the intermediate step of downloading the raw data file to your computer. Of course, this assumes that you can reach the computer via the internet at the time you run your SAS program. The program below illustrates
how to do this. After the filename in you put ftp to tell SAS to access the data via FTP. After that, you supply the name of the file (in this case 'gpa.txt'. lrecl= is used to specify the width of your data. Be sure to choose a value that is at least as wide
as your widest record. cd= is used to specify the directory from where the file is stored. host= is used to specify the name of the site to which you want to FTP. user= is used to provide your userid (or anonymous if connecting via anonymous FTP). pass= is
used to supply your password (or your email address if connecting via anonymous FTP).

FILENAME in FTP 'gpa.txt' LRECL=80

Reading an Excel file into SAS

Suppose that you have an Excel spreadsheet called auto.xls. The data for this spreadsheet are shown below.

Using the Import Wizard is an easy way to import data into SAS. The Import Wizard can be found on the drop down file menu. Although the Import Wizard is easy it can be time consuming if used repeatedly. The very last screen of the Import Wizard gives you the
option to save the statements SAS uses to import the data so that they can be used again. The following is an example that uses common options and also shows that the file was imported correctly.

PROC IMPORT OUT= WORK.auto1

DATAFILE= "C:\auto.xls"

DBMS=EXCEL REPLACE;

SHEET="auto1";

GETNAMES=YES;

MIXED=YES;

USEDATE=YES;

SCANTIME=YES;

RUN;

proc print data=auto1;

run;

First we use the out= statement to tell SAS where to store the data once they are imported.

Next the datafile= statement tells SAS where to find the file we want to import.

The dbms= statement is used to identify the type of file being imported. This statement is redundant if the file you want to import already has an appropriate file extension, for example *.xls.

The replace statement will overwrite an existing file.

To specify which sheet SAS should import use the sheet="sheetname" statement. The default is for SAS to read the first sheet. Note that sheet names can only be 31 characters long.

The getnames=yes is the default setting and SAS will automatically use the first row of data as variable names. If the first row of your sheet does not contain variable names use the getnames=no.

SAS uses the first eight rows of data to determine whether the variable should be read as character or numeric. The default setting mixed=no assumes that each variable is either all character or all numeric. If you have a variable with both character and numeric
values or a variable with missing values use mixed=yes statement to be sure SAS will read it correctly.

Conveniently SAS reads date, time and datetime formats. The usedate=yes is the default statement and SAS will read date or time formatted data as a date. When usedate=no SAS will read date and time formatted data with a datetime format. Keep the default statement
scantime=yes to read in time formatted data as long as the variable does not also contain a date format.

Example 1: Making a permanent data file

What if you want the SAS data set created from proc import to be permanent? The answer is to use libname statement. Let's say that we have an Excel file called auto.xls in directory "d:\temp" and we want to convert it into a SAS data file (call it myauto) and
put it into the directory "c:\dissertation". Here is what we can do.

libname dis "c:\dissertation";

proc import datafile="d:\temp\auto.xls" out=dis.myauto replace;

run;

Example 2: Reading in a specific sheet

Sometimes you may only want to read a particular sheet from an Excel file instead of the entire Excel file. Let's say that we have a two-sheet Excel file called auto2.xls. The example below shows how to use the option sheet=sheetname to read the second sheet
called page2 in it.

proc import datafile="auto2.xls" out=auto1 replace;

sheet="page2";

run;

Example 3: Reading a file without variable names

What if the variables in your Excel file do not have variable names? The answer here is to use the statement getnames=no in proc import. Here is an example showing how to do this.

proc import datafile="a:\faq\auto.xls" out=auto replace;

getnames=no;

run;

Writing Excel files out from SAS

It is very easy to write out an Excel file using proc export in SAS version 8. Consider the following sample data file below.

没有格式库的情况下读入数据：

read a SAS data file when I don't have its format library

If you try to use a SAS data file that has permanent formats but you don't have the format library, you will get errors like this.

ERROR: The format $MAKEF was not found or could not be loaded.

ERROR: The format FORGNF was not found or could not be loaded.

Without the format library, SAS will not permit you to do anything with the data file. However, if you use options nofmterr; at the top of your program, SAS will go ahead and process the file despite the fact that it does not have the format library. You will
not be able to see the formatted values for your variables, but you will be able to process your data file. Here is an example.

OPTIONS nofmterr;

libname in "c:\";

PROC FREQ DATA=in.auto;

TABLES foreign make;

RUN;

高效的保留或者去掉部分变量的方式：

The following program creates exactly the same file, but is a more efficient program because SAS only reads the desired variables.

DATA auto2;

SET auto (KEEP = make mpg price);

RUN;

The drop data step option works in a similar way.
