Both perform the same function with LIST input. but with COLUMN (or FORMATTED) input, TRUNCOVER will allow you to read partial values from short records, but MISSOVER does not
Hi Samuel, Please watch Session 3. There I have explained about libname statement in SAS University Edition. Even then you have any confusion then let me know.
I have data set with two variable Uttar Pradesh Tamil Nadu Delhi Rajasthan Gujrat Madhya Pradesh code using missover: data missing6; infile '/folders/myfolders/missingname.txt' missover; input Name$ lastname$; run; is perfectly working on them. In your ivdeo your code is not giving the desired output . why ?
Hi Ajay, the concept of missover is, When the MISSOVER option is used on the INFILE statement, the INPUT statement does not jump to the next line when reading a short line. Instead, MISSOVER sets variables to missing. Hope this helps.
