The process for importing a SAS table using proc import involves the following steps:

  1. Open SAS and execute a new program.
  2. Start by specifying the libname statement, which is required for accessing data in a database.
  3. Next, use the proc import statement to specify the location and name of the input file.
  4. Specify the format of the input file, including the delimiter used to separate fields or columns.
  5. Specify the output SAS dataset name and location.
  6. Review and modify the options, if necessary, to ensure that the data is imported accurately and correctly.
  7. Run the program and check the log for any errors or warnings.
  8. Finally, review the output dataset to confirm that the data has been imported correctly.
