How do you download a flat file from Mainframe to your
local PC using SAS?
Answer Posted / poojavaibhav
A "flat file" is a plain text or mixed text and binary file which usually contains one record per line[2] or 'physical' record (example on disc or tape). Within such a record, the single fields can be separated by delimiters, e.g. commas, or have a fixed length. In the latter case, padding may be needed to achieve this length. Extra formatting may be needed to avoid delimiter collision. There are no structural relationships between the records.
You can use Import wizard or import procedure or infile statement to create sas dataset and then use file statement to write file in log.
