Simple question

I haven't used SAS since March of last year in my graduate studies, so I was re-familiarizing myself with it. I feel mucho embarrassed, but I cannot understand why this code is not bringing in the balance. It is from Ron Cody's Learning SAS by Example book.

data financial;
	infile '/folders/myfolders/SAS/Learning/bank.txt';
	input Subj $ 1-3 
		  DOB $ 4-13 
		  Gender $ 14 
		  Balance 5-21;
run;

Here is the text file, again from Ron's book.

00110/21/1955M   1145
00211/18/2001F  18722
00305/07/1944M 123.45
00407/25/1945F -12345

Here is my result:

Edited: Is it the space in the text file? I shouldn't think so given that I've reserved the columns.

Should it say 15 instead of 5?

Balance 15-21;
