The source of the problem is (as was indicated) reading in SUBJECT.  Your program tells SAS to start at column 1, but doesn't tell it where to finish.  As a result, SAS keeps reading until it either hits a blank or hits the end of the line,.

thanks for your input.  So here we need not to use column input, right?
