Insert data

I'm trying to create a SAS dataset mentioned in table below. However the program which I used is not producing the desired output.  Please note that there is a space in the value of the last variable PARAM_DESC. Appreciate your help here.

Desired Output:

Missed a "&" for the last variable. 

PARAM_DESC  & $

Why we need a &? Also the values which I entered in the datelines are
correct? Should I put single quotes for the values which have spaces?

Read SAS Documentation for List Input. From Docs:

The & (ampersand) format modifier enables you to read character values that contains one or more embedded blanks with list input and to specify a character informat. SAS reads until it encounters two consecutive blanks, the defined length of the variable, or the end of the input line, whichever comes first.

The single quotes surrounding the input string is not necessary (if you want).

There may be 'TAB' character as separator. Replace it by a single space and try.

[Babloo]

There is already one space between each of the values.

You have mixed use of 'TAB' and 'Space' as delimiters.

In the first record, you have a 'TAB' character between second and third variables.(PRL*** prl_ifrs17_vlu).

How to identify that I've the mixed use of  'TAB' and 'Space' as delimiters?
