How do I read in this text file using an INPUT statement

[CBELLON]

The file trial05 contains three variables for each subject: Subject ID, treatment group (0 = placebo, 1 = treatment) and disease duration (see above). There is a space between variables.

1 1 2 2 1 1 3 1 2 4 0 3 5 1 3 6 1 2 7 0 3 8 1 3 9 0 1 10 0 2 11 1 1 12 0 2 13 1 2 14 1 1 15 0 1

input ????????;
run;

Is it an Excel or .txt file?

[CBELLON]

it's a .txt

Like this?

data trial05;
infile t5 flowover;
input Subject_ID $ treatment_group disease_duration @@;
run;

[CBELLON]

it's not working. what i would need is to make it look like this:

ID    treatment_group   disease_duration

1         1                              2

2         1                              1

Saying "It's not working" provides very little information to work with 🙂 Post your log please.

When I run the code I posted, I get this
