Hi,
I have a file,it include both positive and negative number,In
cobol,it's defined as S9(6)V99,it length is 8.
I try to use s370fpd3.2,s370fpd4.2 , s370fpd6.2 and even s370fpd6.2 to
input,but SAS told me invalid  data for that variable.So could anyone
tell me the correct format ?
Thanks in advance
