Problem Note 40433: EFI, Proc Import, Import Wizard reads a value with a single quote incorrectly
Beginning in SAS 9 EFI, PROC IMPORT or IMPORT WIZARD will read a value which contains a single quote and no closing quote prior to the delimiter for the field incorrectly. The value will be incorrect due to containing multiple values from several columns, not including the single quote as part of the value or causing a numeric variable to be typed as character. In order to have the single quote read in as part of the variable value, when using EFI, PROC IMPORT or IMPORT WIZARD, you can submit the following %LET prior to running PROC IMPORT or invoking EFI or the Import Wizard:
%let EFI_NOQUOTED_DELIMITER = yes;
By submitting the above %LET prior to EFI, PROC IMPORT or the Import Wizard, the single quote will be part of the value of the variable.
