Answer / pnprasad

SAS reds the data from different files like .txt ASCII .xls
etc. For this use INFILE statement. While using this
statment we have to check the data formated in the related
file, i.e some may space, coma, tabs. So, if the file
contains TAB is the delimiter, we have to use
DLM=TAB / '09'X,(note: this is for horizantal TAB) to get
the observations in a defined format. (for Vertical TAb,
DLM='021'X.
