This will put the semicolon at the end of the string:

data _null_;
  length line $80;
  input line $ 1-80;
  put line;
  cards4;
hello world;
;;;;
run;


Hope this helps.

Anthony

                Hi

                Just suppose that I really needed to do the following

                data _null_;
                  lenght line $80;
                  input line $ 1-80;
                  put line;
                  cards;
                hello world;
                run;

                the point being that I really need that semi-colon at the
end of the hello world.
                (OK so infact I won't to enbed html and use a &nbsp; in
there)

                Could anyone tell me how to do that.

                I'd be really grateful

                Tim
