how to open very large SAS datasets, like "head" in Linux?
I'm new to SAS, using SAS Enterprise Guide 8.3. I have very large datasets with .sas7bdat extension.
How can I open them to just see the first thousands rows? I don't need to process them, just view similar to a Linux "head".
Solution
One of the cool things about SAS is how performant Enterprise Guide and SAS Studio are with large datasets. Use the libraries tab in the left pane to open up a SAS dataset and scroll through it. I've done this on datasets that are nearly a billion rows long and it has no problem doing it.
