We cant create SAS Dataset name with Spaces. Spaces wont be
allowed in the SAS naming convention.
If Raw data is having Spaces, we need to use Period Input
Style.
Other-wise please give some information for this question
to understand well.

Answer / nani
Whenever SAS encounters a period after a macro variable
reference, the period is treated as a way to end the macro
variable and then the period is thrown away.
