Im trying to read in a text file, that is stored in list format with multiple observations per line in the order of :ID, score , dose age weight 

the text file is attached

Please post what you have tried and post you data in the form of a SAS datastep using either the cards or datalines;

When I open your attachment I only get a picture of the information.

use a datastep and an infile statement based on the information you have provided.

the infile option FLOWOVER (which is the default) is designed to support your data

/*This code is not tested, but double trailing@@ should do the trick.*/



filename dehyd '<path>/dehydration_f18.txt';

data temp;
	infile dehyd lrecl=80 flowover firstobs=1;
	input ID $ score dose age weight @@;
run;
