How can I output a data set to a text file?

To export data into a flat, text file, use SAS program like this:

        data _null_;
            set <your data set>;
            file '<your output file>' notitles noprint;
            put var1 var2 var3 ... varn;
        run;

where <your data set> is the existing SAS data set, <your output file> is the output file you want to create, and var1 - varn are the names of your variables.

Note that you do not type the angle brackets (<>), but you do need the quotation marks around the file name.
