Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to create a field - channel - which holds all the values below the datalines statement in the code below. 

data Testing;
   infile datalines;
   input Channel :$30.;
cards;
C&TM With All
Rebroke
J&T Appliance
;

I am expecting the first record of channel to be 'C&TM With All', but it appeasrs truncated as in below:

What can i do to avoid this truncation?

 

Thanks,

 

Paul
