Does the following at least approximate that which you are trying to do?

data x; input visit @10 PERCENT @21 P_value @31 legg $1. @43 treatment $1.; cards; 1 5.0 0.700 a 1 3.22 0.700 b 2 10.25 0.600 a 2 12.67 0.600 b 3 32.48 0.300 a 3 20.05 0.300 b 4 36.78 0.067 a 4 25.78 0.067 b 5 38 0.252 a 5 40 0.252 b 6 42.67 0.252 a 6 35.00 0.252 b 7 40.67 0.252 a 7 37.00 0.252 b 8 49.00 0.020 * a 8 27.33 0.020 * b ;
