In the past I've been able to read in a csv file to process it line-by-line, but for some reason the file I'm working on now only imports every other line.  Any information you can provide is appreciated.  Here's my code:

 

data cleaned;
missing;
infile "C:\temp\test.csv" lrecl=2000;
length lines $2000;
input lines $1-2000;
keep lines tag ;

if _N_ eq 1 then do;
find_CR_re=prxparse('/\n/'); /* Find carriage returns */
end;
retain find_CR_re;

if prxmatch(find_CR_re,lines) then tag=1; /* Looking for embedded carriage returns in line*/
run;

I believe you need INFILE statement option TRUNCOVER.
