Hi experts
I have a txt file where the column names are inserted several times in the text file (look at the attachment).
I want to read from row 1-3, 7-8 and 12-13.
Is it possible?
Appreciate for any help you can give me.
best regards
Johan
Do a test-read, hold the line pointer (@), and conclude the data step iteration only for data you want:
data want;
infile cards truncover;
input id $ name $@;
if ID not in ('ID',' ');
input age;
cards;
ID NAME AGE
1 OLE 31
2 PER 50
ID NAME AGE
3 KARI 45
4 PETTER 31
ID NAME AGE
5 JOHAN 60
6 EVA 45
