In the data file Exe2_Data11.txt, the field indicates contains a street address and a person who lives at that address, age and gender. Create a SAS data set that contains one
observation for each person who lives at a specific address. The finished SAS data set
looks like this:
Exe2_Data11.txt
30 Daguilar St
Mary Chan,21,F
David Chan,25,M
Man Chan,2,M
15 Fuk Hi St
William Leung,30,M
20 San Fat St
Walter Ma,25,M
John Ma,50,M
78 Stanley St
Is your desired output a SAS data set or a .txt file?
This is in essence the same question as posted here:
data want;
infile "path_to_your_file" dlm="," dsd truncover;
length
address $100
name $50
age 8
gender $1
;
retain address;
input @;
if countw(_infile_,",") > 1
then do;
input name age gender;
output;
end;
else input address $100.;
run;
