00305/07/1944M 123.45
00407/25/1945F -12345

I am trying it by column input

data financial;
infile 'f:\sas\8.txt';
input Subj $ 1-3
DOB $ 4-13
Gender $ 14
Balance 15-21;
run;


But I am not getting output,,, Is there ant syntax error.

Hi Shaweta,
See the Correct program below.
there is no need to define column pointer for balance when you are extracting data using Infile statement.

data financial;
infile 'F:\sas\8.txt';
input Subj $ 1-3
DOB $ 4-13
Gender $ 14
Balance;
run;
proc print data= financial;
run;
