Thank your for the suggestion. I could get dataset table with all the obs and variables.

The data is not read properly with the code you provided, because you mentioned column 6-24 to read the Name, but actually if you see 6-24 columns data it takes the values other then name.

Make sure the space between the data is two blanks other then between names. i.e space between 1023 and David is two blanks and space between David and shaw is one blank only. "&" here is used to treat the name seperated by single blank as one whole name.

Thanks,
