Hi @contactnishan 

You can use : to specify an informat in the input statement.

It will force SAS to read the data up to the delimiter.

data staff;
	infile datalines delimiter=',';
	input name:$25. dept:$40. Salary month;
	datalines;
John Ivan,Sales,55000,1
Mary Persi,Acctng,49000,7
Davidsons,Storage Management,67000,5
;
run;
