default.It should appear and besides the variables in
sas.The columnpointers are
1)@
2)@@
@:the '@'is a column pointer which commands SAS to hold the
line strongly.The '@' is if it used,it is trailing of '@'
pointer.It reads only the first line across the available
variables data.

or internal by reading into a single variable.
