Paper 253-29 The INPUT Statement: Where It's @ Ronald Cody, , Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Piscataway, NJ Introduction One of the most powerful features of SAS software is the ability to read data in almost any form. For example, you can have data values separated by blanks or other delimiters or you can arrange your data in columns, using one or more lines of data for each subject. You can also read selected data fields and then decide how to read the remaining data values. This tutorial will give you an overview of the immense power and flexibility of the SAS INPUT statement. Reading Space Delimited Data A common form of data entry is to separate each data value by one or more spaces. This is handy for small data sets that are entered by hand, especially for test purposes. This arrangement of data is often called "list INPUT ." The rule here is that you must specify all the variables in the data lines and all the data values must be separated by one or more spaces.
