I am having trouble importing the data sets to my SAS program.  The data set is not been displayed correctly.

 

 

DATA ob1;
INFILE "/folders/myfolders/Study.txt" DLM='05'x FIRSTOBS=2 DSD;
INPUT Poverty Growth;
RUN;

PROC PRINT DATA=ob1;
RUN;

Looks like your program is assuming that data is using EBCDIC tab character '05'x, but the actual data files are using ASCII tab character '09'x.
