The main motive was to introduce you to SAS. Even though the primary purpose for SAS is statistical analysis, when we have input data in not an orderly format, we can make use of SAS programming. The below program is just a sample on how we can use SAS, we can do even more with it.
//PS010 EXEC SASMSTRC
//SASINPUT DD DSN=INPUT.SAS.FILE,DISP=SHR
//SASOFILE DD DSN=OUTPUT.SAS.FILE,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// SPACE=(CYL,(1,5),RLSE),
// DCB=(LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0,RECFM=FB)
//SASLIST DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
*–START OF SAS CNTLCARD —————–
DATA LANG;
INFILE SASINPUT DSD;
INPUT NAME :$5. YEAR PERSON :$20.;
DATA _NULL_;
SET LANG;
FILE SASOFILE NOTITLE;
PUT NAME 1-5 YEAR 08-11 PERSON 14-30;
*–END OF SAS CNTLCARD —————–
The option DSD used in the INFILE statement assumes that the delimiter as comma by default.
