@sas_td2016 When marking a correct answer please mark the answer that helped you, NOT your own response.
The source of the problem is (as was indicated) reading in SUBJECT. Your program tells SAS to start at column 1, but doesn't tell it where to finish. As a result, SAS keeps reading until it either hits a blank or hits the end of the line,.
thanks for your input. So here we need not to use column input, right?
