| Requirements: |
The name and location of an output data
set and the complete path for the input data file.
|
| Reminder: |
The single quotes surrounding field identifiers
are optional when the field identifiers follow the SAS naming convention.
Single quotes are required for field identifiers that are non-standard SAS
names. When field identifiers placed in single quotes are non-standard SAS
names, the field identifiers are converted to a standard SAS name in the traditional
map data set. For more information about the standard SAS naming convention,
see Names in the SAS Language in the
SAS Language Reference: Concepts. For more
information on how invalid field identifiers placed in single quotes are renamed,
see the SAS System option VALIDVARNAME in the
SAS/ACCESS for Relational Databases: Reference.
