Please note:
I read the above-named dataset (also attached for proper viewing) saved as ak.txt into SAS University edition and SAS did not read the dataset correctly.
This is the code I used:
72
73 data project;
74 infile "/folders/myfolders/ak.txt";
75 input num$ y$ x1$ x2$ x3$ x4$ x5$ x6$;
76 run;
This is the output I obtained:
1 Y x1 x2 x3 x4 1 11 1
2 2 17 1 0 0 0 3 16
3 4 14 1 0 0 0 5 15
Any ideas to solve this problem for SAS to give the right output,please?
This is the log:
NOTE: LOST CARD.
num=6 y=12 x1=2 x2=1 x3=0 x4=0 x5= x6= _ERROR_=1 _N_=4
NOTE: 7 records were read from the infile "/folders/myfolders/ak.txt".
The minimum record length was 22.
The maximum record length was 22.
NOTE: SAS went to a new line when INPUT statement reached past the end of a line.

You're showing different number of variables, do you only have 4 or 6? It looks like it doesn't align so that's possibly your issue. The note indicates this as well:
NOTE: SAS went to a new line when INPUT statement reached past the end of a line.
