records.dat have 5000 records, but my main_set dataset have only 4999 records.
Not able to figure out what is wrong with this. any pointers would be of great help!
Data main_set;
infile "records.dat" dlm='|' dsd truncover;
input id : $10.
name : $25.
;
run;
In which way have you determined that records.dat actually contains 5000 lines?
If on UNIX, do a
wc -l records.dat
to verify this.
And check that you don't have a stray obs= system option set to 4999 (been there, done that).

Thanks Kurt. Yup Obs was the villian 🙂
