Reading raw currency data with an abbreviated suffix

wiphil — Wed, 17 Feb 2016 02:22:29 GMT

I'm trying to read a raw data file with abbreviated currency values like:

1 Exxon Mobil United States $433.5B $41.1B $331.1B $407.4B
2 JPMorgan Chase United States $110.8B $19B $2,265.8B $170.1B

Attached is actual raw data file. I cannot get the data in correctly...the following code is about as close to success as I have gotten:

data BigCompanies;
infile 'c:\projectdata\BigCompanies.dat';
input rank 3. company $ 6-31 country $ 35-49 @'$' sales dollar5.1
@'$' profits dollar5.1 @'$' assets dollar5.1 @'$' market dollar5.1;
run;

Struggling...thinking I must be making this harder than it needs to be and would appreciate any assistance.

(_sales _profits  _assets  _market) (: $40.) ;
 sales =input(compress(_sales,'B'),dollar32.);
 profits =input(compress(_profits ,'B'),dollar32.);
 assets =input(compress(_assets ,'B'),dollar32.);
 market =input(compress(_market ,'B'),dollar32.);
