sasfix

sasfix is a tool for fixing the formatting of SAS output. Paste in results from the Output window, and sasfix will fix funny characters and remove excess whitespace from the left side.

Here’s a visual example:

• Start with any SAS output:
  

• If you paste it directly into Notepad (or any other program), you’ll get weird characters and excess white space on the left:
  

• sasfix to the rescue! Paste your SAS output into sasfix first to get a clean version.

Note that the funny ƒ characters have been replaced with a line and the extra white space on the left side has been removed.

You can see the full output from the screenshots above here: before and after.

sasfix is free to use. No data is cached or stored on the server. You can access sasfix here.
