And the question is what exactly?

Best practice is to post code in a code or text box opened with the "running man" or </> icon above the message window. The text box will prevent the forum from reformatting code and possibly inserting/removing characters resulting in code that will not run or replaces some strings with odd characters such as bullet points.

Actual lines of data should be preceded by a CARDS; or DATALINES; statement with the semicolon.

If your inline data contains semicolons then use CARDS4; or DATALINES4; and end your data section with 4 semicolons.
