input comma separated row data for one variable

I'm trying to create a series of SAS datasets of ICD codes given to me in a word doc but I'm having trouble reading the data in

4972 ! S83.519S ;

ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

4973 run;

I would appreciate any help,

This perhaps:

data read;
   infile datalines dlm=',';
   input code :$9. @@ ;
datalines;
S83.51, S83.511A, S83.511D, S83.511S, S83.512A, S83.512D, S83.512S, S83.519A, S83.519D, S83.519S
;

The @@ at the end of input holds the input line for multiple reads. You also didn't have an actual Informat specified (missed the .)

Please post log into a text box opened using the </> icon that appears above the message window. Note that the log bit you show doesn't match what you see in your log window? This forum reformats everything pasted into the main message window and results in moving things like the diagnostic characters in the error message.
