How to list two variables in SAS

[zhawasli1]

I want to create a SAS dataset which contains two variables AGE and SEX.  There are 26 entries.  How do I program this into SAS.  Sorry I'm a newbie here . lol

Where is the data coming from? Are you typing it out? From a text file?

Assuming you're typing it out, you would create something as follows:

data have;
infile cards dlm=',' truncover;
input age sex $;
cards;
24, F
25, M
;;;;
run;

However, the assumption is you're more likely to read from a file or DB and this step isn't very usual in actual work.

no its from my input right now. thank you so much!

It says error on the log window when I press run, No logical assign for filename CARD.  Not completely sure what that means.

Show the code and log
I think there's a typo in my post (card versus cards) which I'll fix here in a second.

EDIT: Code is fixed and tested, runs fine.

I updated the post above earlier, you need to update the code.

SAS is expecting CARDS not CARD.
