why I can't input txt data set

Your photographs as nice. 

What is your question?

Did you run some code to make that dataset?  What code?

Show the lines from the SAS log, as text not photographs.

I want to transfer text data set to SAS data set , but the result, as you see, is empty .
The following is my code:
data recovery;
infile "my text data set physical address";
input ID dosage age duration score1-score4;
run;
proc print data = recovery;
run;

Please post your code and log.

From what I see, you have a tab-delimited file and should use '09'x as delimiter.

For tested code, copy/paste a few lines of the input file into a window opened with </>.

data recovery;
infile "C:\Users\liao\Documents\My SAS Files\9.4\bio\project\recovery.txt";
input  ID $ dosage  age duration   score1-score4  dlm = '09'x;
run;
proc print data = recovery ;
run;

Post your LOG. That will indicate if the issue is your code or the file or something else.

Hi:
Just a few comments. the DLM= option goes on the INFILE statement, not the INPUT statement. My guess is that you are getting error messages in the SAS log.

Also, if your data is as shown in your screen shot, with a header row of column names, then you might also want the FIRSTOBS= option in the INFILE statement too. That way, SAS will start reading your data at row 2. You'll find both DLM= and FIRSTOBS= here https://go.documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=lestmtsref&docsetTarget=n1rill4udj0tfun1fvce3j401plo.htm&... in the documentation.
