I have a file and file declared in SAS as follows.


Now I need to convert all of these into decimal using DFORT. Can you please provide the OUTREC FIELDS.

What do you mean by “decimal” in this context?

Please, clarify.

Note: it could be
P’1234’=X’01234C’
Z’1234’=X’F1F2F3C4’
C’1234’=X’F1F2F3F4’
... and many others...

Please give sample input/output. Use code tags when posting code and data so that everything aligns and is easier to read.

Thanks for the quick response.

Example : if the variable is declared as 9(04) comp, I need to get it converted to 9(04) using DFSORT.

I recommend you to start from reading manuals rather than writing to forums...

Look in the manual at INREC / Reformatting / Example 4 as a start point

Thanks NicC and Sergeyken.

Anyway, I strictly recommend you to read manuals, carefully. There are hundreds, or thousands other tips and tricks you could learn, besides of those few answers to specific questions you can get at the forum.
