Are you familiar with special input delimiters How are they
used?

Answer Posted / selvi

We can specify delimiter value in dlm option of infile stmt.
If any values are missing in between then dlm option does
nt recognize the same so we need to use DSD option to read
consecutive delimiter as missing values.DSD set two more
things 1.comma as default delimiter 2.remove quotion from
quted string
