how to read a blank space as value while reading from fixed width file

[upadhi]

my infile statement is as:

data work.etls_WGO6ITXY / view = work.etls_WGO6ITXY ;

            infile "&file_name"

                  lrecl = 32760

                  missover

                  firstobs = 1

                  ;;

            attrib N_NUM_TIPO_RECORD length = $1

              format = $1.;

            attrib N_NUM_PROTOCOLLO_DOM length = $9

              format = $9.;

            attrib N_NUM_DISTRETTO_TEL length = $3

              format = $3.;

            attrib N_NUM_NUMERO_TEL length = $8

              format = $8.;

            attrib V_COD_ABI length = $5

              format = $5.;

            attrib C_FLG_TIP_ABI length = $1

              format = $1.;

            attrib V_DES_BANCA length = $30

              format = $30.;

            attrib D_DAT_RIFERIMENTO length = $6

              format = $6.;

            attrib C_FLG_STATO_DELEGA length = $1

              format = $1.;

            attrib ID_MANDATO length = $35

              format = $35.;

            attrib V_COD_RIEMPIMENTO length = $1

              format = $1.;

            input @ 1 N_NUM_TIPO_RECORD  $1.

                  @ 2 N_NUM_PROTOCOLLO_DOM  $9.

                  @ 11 N_NUM_DISTRETTO_TEL  $3.

                  @ 14 N_NUM_NUMERO_TEL  $8.

                  @ 22 V_COD_ABI  $5.

                  @ 27 C_FLG_TIP_ABI  $1.

                  @ 28 V_DES_BANCA  $30.

                  @ 58 D_DAT_RIFERIMENTO  $6.

                  @ 64 C_FLG_STATO_DELEGA  $1.

                  @ 65 ID_MANDATO  $35.

                  @ 100 V_COD_RIEMPIMENTO  $1.;

        run;

And?

So the code you posted will "read a blank space as value".

What do it want it to do differently?
