Using MISSOVER or TRUNCOVER. TRUNCOVER is best because if
the last variable doesn't have value then it assigns
missing as just as missover one extra difference with
TRUNCOVER is, if you are using formatted input and the
width is more than the value still truncover reads the
available value but missover assigns a missing.
Eg: data t;
input num 3.;
cards;
1
12
121
;
run;
Check the above code using missover and truncover.

By using stopover, missover is used to read next record
without stopping.
