Hello @Aexor,
You can specify strings as delimiters in the DLMSTR= option of the INFILE statement:
/* Create test file for demonstration */
filename myfile temp;
data _null_;
file myfile;
put 'RamabcSamabcKaleabc';
run;
/* Read the test file */
data want;
infile myfile dlmstr='abc';
input (var1-var3)($);
run;
