I am trying to read the following dataset in to SAS without money signs: http://people.stat.sc.edu/hitchcock/tshirt.txt.

I have been trying the following code and it is not printing values for the shipping costs column and I can't figure out how to get rid of the money signs.

 

DATA tshirt;
FILENAME webpage URL 'http://people.stat.sc.edu/hitchcock/tshirt.txt';
INFILE webpage;
INPUT size$color$price$shippingcosts;
RUN;

PROC PRINT DATA=tshirt;
