Subject: reading a matrix with character values with SAS/IML
dear sas users,
Does anyone know how to read a sas-dataset containing both numeric and
character values within sas iml?
I have used the lines below but sas/iml only reads the numeric variables of
the sas-dataset mat1and put it
into mat1.
/*************/
proc iml;
use a.mat1;
read all into mat2;
/*************/
Thanks.
