If you are using UE, the path should like this:


data a;
infile '/folders/myfolders/test1.txt' dlm='~' '\' '&' '|' ':' '/';
input id name $ sal;
run;

You will get errors for at least two reasons: (1) SAS can't find the file and (2) you didn't specify the delimiters properly. Try this instead:

 

data a;
  infile '/folders/myfolders/vidya/test1.txt' dlm='~&|:/\';
  input id name $ sal;
run;
