I want to create a SAS table corresponding to this: 

date customer_id segment_generation_1
2023-01-01 111 A
2023-01-01 222 B
2023-01-01 333 C


My attempt: 

data snapshot_1;
   input date yymmdd10. customer_id segment_generation_1 $;
   format date yymmdd10.;
   datalines;
   2023-01-01 111 A
   2023-01-01 222 C
   2023-01-01 333 A
   ;
run;

returns this which is wrong:

Any ideas on how to do it properly?

Thanks.

You need a colon in the INPUT statement before YYMMDD10.

 

input date :yymmdd10. customer_id segment_generation_1
