Heman,

I note that your cards data includes the TAB character.
It would not surprise me to find that the SAS editor
properties have been set to do the correct thing for
tabs, while to %INCLUDE is just another character and
does not do the correct thing.

If this doesn't help then you might try to simplify your
problem to a simple example, say 5 records, 5 variables,
and two DATA steps which work when run in the editor but
not when run with %INCLUDE.

Subject:      Strange include-problem
Hi there!
I have a funny problem. I have this program (main), in which I
create two
datasets. I want to do certain things to these datasets, using
two
different programs (base and focus). In both base and focus there
other
datasets are created, using "cards".
When I run my main program, then run my base program, and then
run my
focus program (separatly), everything works like a charm. But
when I
include base and focus in my main program (using '%
include 'C:\SAS\base.sas') I get the following error message:

NOTE: Invalid data for ageLow in line 3547 1-30.
NOTE: Invalid data for ageHigh in line 3548 1-29.

Any ideas? Thanks!!
