I suggest you first consult the documentation: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lestmtsref/63323/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n1spe7nmkmi7ywn175002rof97fv.htm, and then come back here to clarify details, if needed. Your question as such is answered in "Details - When to use PUT".

PS note that the link is the first result of a google search for "sas put statement". This is usually the best way to find pertinent SAS documentation.

Your normal SAS program will read a file and output data to the printer or results window. In many files you will run across a record (observation) that doesn't print right or something is strange in the data from that record. Say its the 101th record, you will want to code If _n_=101 then put _all_; This will show all your fields with their field names in the log for you to debug. You can also code If name="Degeneras" then _error_; This will show the raw data record as well as the fields and field names.
