Hi, guys
I need help in reading external file.

How to read external text -file with multiple rows to one observation with one column?

Hold the read point over with @@, for instance this gives some examples:

You would need to write the logic as to when to write out the dataset line.

Hi,

 

As per your query i think double trailing '@@' should solve your issue.

 

If you could elaborate your query with a small instance that would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Srinath
