Manually Input Dataset

[mariko5797]

I pretty much just want these character values (I need the leading zero for merging and ordering), to be in a single column. I thought the @@ would allow me to write my list in a single row and still go in the correct column. However, I end up with an error instead, so maybe I misunderstood it's use. Is there a way to write this code without having to go the the next line after each value? 

/*Code Have*/
data devtype;
 input dvdecod@@;
 cards;
 '00' '01' '02' '03' '04' '05'
 '06' '07' '08' '09' '10' '11'
 '12' '13' '14' '15' '16' '17'
 '18' '19' '99'
 ;
run;

/*Code Trying to Avoid*/
data devtype;
 input dvdecod;
 cards;
 '00'
 '01'
 '02'
 '03'
 ...
;
run;

/*Log File Error - repeats*/
NOTE: Invalid data for DVDECOD in line 1001 2-5.
1001 '12' '13' '14' '15' '16' '17'
DVDECOD=- _ERROR_=1 _N_=13
NOTE: Invalid data for DVDECOD in line 1001 7-10.
NOTE: Invalid data errors for file CARDS occurred outside the printed range.
NOTE: Increase available buffer lines with the INFILE n= option.

Thank you in advance!

EDIT: 

Not sure why the new lines didn't carry over. For ease to view.

Try this:

data devtype;
 input dvdecod @@;
 dvdecod_leading0 = put(dvdecod,z2.);
 dvdecod_leading0_quotes = "'"!! dvdecod_leading0 !! "'";
 cards;
 0  1  2  3  4  5
 6  7  8  9 10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17
18 19 99
;
run;
/* end of program */

If you want leading zeros then read the values are text instead of numeric.

data devtype;
  input dvdecod $ @@;
cards;
00 01 02 03 04 05
06 07 08 09 10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17
18 19 99
;

If you want character values for DVDECOD, you have to specify that DVDECOD is character in the INPUT statement (by using a $ plus optional formatting) and do not enclose them in quotes.

data devtype;
 input dvdecod $ @@;
 cards;
 00 01 02 03 04 05
 06 07 08 09 10 11
 12 13 14 15 16 17
 18 19 99
 ;
run;
