Subject:      Linking to a CSV file with LIBNAME
Comments: To: sas-l@uga.edu

Hi,

With SAS 9, I was pleased to see how easy it was to link to an Excel file with the LIBNAME statement. I'd like to know if it's possible to read from a text file (comma or tab separated) in a similar way. I have some text files that I use to "feed" some pivot-tables in Excel and I'd really like to read from SAS.

I don't want to write in the text files, just read as if it were a SAS dataset.

Thanks! Louis
