Thanks Carl. It helps a lot conceptually, but in practice not so much. I can run the command successfully:

H:\>fsutil behavior query disable8dot3
disable8dot3 = 1

But even after a reboot my problem persists. In a week I'm switching departments and won't even be able to run fsutil on my new machine. I guess I'll work around it.

I have similar question but slightly modified. How about if I have columns "COL1" "COL2" "COL3" etc.., and I want to combine them into a single column "COL" but sometimes there is not always data under later COLs (for example COL1 10, COL2 20, COL3 no data) - how can I combined them and have a clean result and not something like "10,20,." but rather I want to have "10,20" and "10,20,30" when there is data.

Bug in SAS 9.3 for Windows Handling Of Wildcards In Filename Statement?

Hi. It's been a long time since I've posted here. I've run into a situation that baffles me regarding how SAS for Windows handles wildcards in filename statements. In the following very short program, which I am attaching as a demonstration that I believe should work on anyone's machine, the wildcard portion of the filename is "*/SAS". However, SAS appears to read read all files with extensions beginning with "SAS" and throws an error when it tries to open my SAS profile catalog. Am I missing something, and this is what SAS is supposed to do? Or is this a bug? Thanks for any clarification you can provide.

Re: issue with multiple sas arrays - looping thru a character list

thx very much. I'll give it a try. I definitley got way too complex,
but hopefully i can backtrack now...

You're getting way too complex.

Look up the vname function and forget macros.
You'll probably need two loops.

1. Your arrays are a and v but you have dim(p)?
2. Your brackets are inconsistent.
3. You haven't declared your arrays properly.
4. I think your loops may be nested wrong.

You can easily write a macro to do it.

Processing different files with same SAS codes

lmid8...@gmail.com — Mon, 20 May 2013 17:48:47 UT

Hi,

I am a beginner to SAS programming. I wanted to know if there is a way to process different files with the same SAS codes efficiently.
Here is an example:

File 1: Qtr20001
File 2: Qtr20002
File 3: Qtr20003
File 4: Qtr20004
File 5: Qtr20011
File 6: Qtr20012
File 7: Qtr20013
File 8: Qtr20014

Your merge is not happening the way you want it. Try to merge using the appropriate "by" groups so your data makes sense.
