Hi All,

Can anyone one suggest me when to use the stmt put all and put_all  in which scenarios.

I am a beginner. Kindly let me know.

I suggest you first consult the documentation: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lestmtsref/63323/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n1spe7nmkmi7ywn..., and then come back here to clarify details, if needed. Your question as such is answered in "Details - When to use PUT".

PS note that the link is the first result of a google search for "sas put statement". This is usually the best way to find pertinent SAS documentation.

@Kurt_Bremser rightly said and I would like to recommend Ron Cody's book  which is very helpful

Your normal SAS program will read a file and output data to the printer or results window.  In many files you will run across a record (observation) that doesn't print right or something is strange in the data from that record.   Say its the 101th record, you will want to code If _n_=101 then put _all_;    This will show all your fields with their field names in the log for you to debug.  You can also code  If name="Degeneras" then _error_;   This will show the raw data record as well as the fields and field names.
