/* when the data having multiple delemiters and different length we should give the proper position or length for the data */

DATA OUT_PUT;

INFILE DATALINES DLM='|/-\*,';

INPUT ID @+0 NAME $ @+0 VALUE @+0;               /* DEFINE THE LENGTH AND POSITION */

DATALINES;

101|JASMINE/3000

102-ROY\5000
