Subject:   Problems with 9.2 - reading of data

Dear all,

I have a problem with SAS version 9.2

I have a reading procedure for a data set like this:

data RawData; input Sampling Treat_ID Taxa_ID @@; do Replicate = 1 to 4; do Area = 1 to 4; input Number Biomass @ ; output; end; end; datalines; Here I copy-paste data directly from my excel spread sheet.

With SAS version 9.1.3 everything worked fine. Now with 9.2 sometimes I get error messages in the Log file like "Invalid data in line...". Sometimes SAS qutis the complete programm without a warning or an error message.

I do not what to do. Maybe I'll go back to 9.1.3. I checked the data in Excel and it was not corrupt or damaged - but SAS e.g. makes an "." out of an "0.00" - but only at single datapoints of a dataset with thousands of data - and not always at the same. The system seems to be not stable.

Does anyone has observed similar problems? Any help is welcome.

Best regards Holger
