sasutils / macros Goto Github PK

This is a very useful macro.

There is a situation where the macro does not seem to work, when there are many (>=10 it seems) variables with long names with the first several characters in the names identical.
This results in the same name being given to 2 of the variables in the generated datastep. The length statement contains the same name twice, once with a numeric and once with a character length.
I have tried to use the macro with many CSV-files and 6 of them cause this error and they all have variable names as described above.

During the execution of the code, is requested the macro 'contentv'. I can't find it in the branch.

I recently tried to import a CSV-file with one column name missing and I tried doing that with your CSV2DS macro.
It resulted in an error.
The following statement, in the data step that creates TYPES, solves that problem and doesn't impact the way the macro words when there are no missing column names.

if missing(name) then name=upcase;

Hi, I came across your code and wanted to use (parts of) it. However, you do not explicitly state a licence and so I cannot use it for my purposes.

Is it by intention that you have not described/provided a license?

Without a license, it makes it hard to others use/modify/remix your nice code.

See e.g. https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/ for more info.

In any case, thank you for sharing the code.
