I notice some "Credit score" have blanks in it, but the last one is not . which one is real world ?

Assuming there is no blank in it.

NOTE: if you have SAS9.4 M4 , best choice is libname + JSON engine.

 

data x;
 infile '/folders/myfolders/xxxx.json' lrecl=300000  dlm='}: ';
 input x : $200. @@;
run;
data want;;
 merge x x(firstobs=2 rename=(x=value));
 if x=:'{' then do;x=substr(x,2); id+1;end;
 if mod(_n_,2)=1;
run;
proc print noobs;run;
