Subject:   Re: help with reading ASCII data into SAS

its not much information about your problem. Did you try it with something like:

data a; infile "c:\daten\test.dat" dlm="," truncover; if _n_=1 then do input; delete; end; else input site : 8. id : 8. pid : 8. it : $5. dd : ANYDTDTM20. itd : 8. rtd : 8. linkid : 8. sp : 8. fc : 8. dtc : ANYDTDTM20. dtm : ANYDTDTM20. u : $5. ; u = compress(u,'""'); it = compress(it,'""'); format dtm dtc dd datetime20.; run;

That seems to work for your example. Gerhard
