So (after checking our code against the file documentation, to be sure) we will ask the source of the data to provide a corrected file.</P> Sun, 23 May 2021 22:24:57 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/what-is-input-statement-specification/m-p/743269#M232671 Kurt_Bremser 2021-05-23T22:24:57Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/what-is-input-statement-specification/m-p/743271#M232675 <P>Input statement specification = Input statement definition.&nbsp;</P> Sun, 23 May 2021 22:38:05 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/what-is-input-statement-specification/m-p/743271#M232675 SASKiwi 2021-05-23T22:38:05Z
