Subject:      What characters are allowed in SAS data sets?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

The code below loses characters after the underscores and ends fields
after /n.

Is there an option or change I can make so this data will read
correctly, or am I trying to work with characters not allowed in SAS
data sets?

 

* build a dataset to use to populate the i2b2 table ;

data level1;

INPUT C_HLEVEL C_FULLNAME $ C_NAME $ C_SYNONYM_CD $ C_VISUALATTRIBUTES $
C_FACTTABLECOLUMN $

C_TABLENAME $ C_COLUMNNAME $ C_COLUMNDATATYPE $ C_OPERATOR $ C_DIMCODE $
C_TOOLTIP $ 

SOURCESYSTEM_CD $

;

DATALINES ;

1 "/i2b2/nhanes" "nhanes" "N" "FA" "concept_cd" "concept_dimension"
"concept_path" "T" "like" "/i2b2/nhanes" "nhanes public data set"
"nhanes"

;

RUN;

 

Thanks!
