Create Smaller DATA Tables

[Steelersgirl]

I have a data set that is currently a 3 by 160 table of movie reviews. The first row is numbers for the movie reviews. I want to separate the table in to 4 smaller tables with values 1-40 in the first table, 41-80 for the second table, etc. I also want to drop the first column of numbers from these tables. This is the code I am trying for the first table but it is not working.  

DATA movie;
FILENAME webpage URL 'http://people.stat.sc.edu/hitchcock/moviereview.txt';
INFILE webpage;
INPUT reviewnumber $ Siskel $ Ebert $;
DROP reviewnumber
RUN;

PROC PRINT DATA=movie;
WHERE reviewnumber  CONTAINS BETWEEN 1 AND 40;
TITLE 'Quarter 1';
RUN;

1) Can reviewnumber be non numeric ? why not read it as numeric, without the $ symbol ?

2) Assume reviewnumber is 1 - is it '1 ' or '01' or ' 1' ? 

3) Assume reviewnumber is 12 - does it contain 1 ?

I believe that changing the reviewnumber to numeric and check by

     " where reviewnumber between 1 and 40 "  instead using contain function - can solve the issue

otherwise post your log and explain what do you mean by "not working".
