It is Monday… and I was given the challenge of updating the “CIP Code Crosswalk” table for Wilson Community College as it is related to the Completion IPEDS Fall Survey. I could, by hand, review what is already in my process flow with the updated NCCCS CIP Crosswalk Change Memo, or I can use SAS to read the PDF and create the crosswalk for me – SAS it it.

How was this done? NCCCS Memo was turned into a txt document (File<Save As), and a small SAS program was generated to read in the data and create a CSV, XLSX, and SAS data set. Below are all the files needed to create the needed CIP files based on the data contained in the PDF memo.

This is just another example demonstrating the power of SAS. For those of us who use SAS, this is not breaking news. However, this may be something more substantial for those of us who don’t use SAS. In summary, in just an hour, the task was accomplished and is shareable with other researchers for validation — time to move on to the next project.
