Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

I have a text file that goes over two lines like:
ID kount <on 1st line>
<list of Variables on 2nd line>
1001 2
999 888
1007 8
111 222 333 444 555 666 777 888
1002 5
987 876 765 654 543
.
.
.


I would the SAS data file to be like:
id count var1-var(Kount)
1001 2 999 888 . . . . .
1007 8 111 222 333 444 555 666 777 888
1002 5 999 888 777 666 555 . .  .

I do not know maximum kount. It needs to be determined dynamically.

All help appreciated.
