Hello,
I want to create a dataset with character as below where tab is used to separate value.
In the second set, the datalines is mixed with space and tab to separate value.
Can you please help me with that?
Thank you,

DLM can specify multiple delimiters.
This worked for me, by manually entering a space followed by a tab in the editor.
data name2;
infile cards dlm=" "; *space and tab keyed in;

Hi @hhchenfx
This will work but it is very different than your examples.
data test;
input c1 $ c2 $ c3 $ c4 $ c5 $;
datalines;
a b c d f
run;
Best wishes,
Jeff
