1. “Client_ID_12_months_bill.txt” contains the 12 months credit card bill against each client_id in single Import the data into SAS such that bill for each month is recorded as a separate observation and month number is also specific (Bonus question – Month name instead of month number)
2. Import “Client_ID_12_months_bill(missing).txt” into SAS considering that there are churners in the data who left the company at different points of time during the year.

Data :-  

102563           $167.00  $125.00  $976.00  $483.00  $517.00  $797.00  $879.00  $988.00  $910.00  $451.00  $468.00  $236.00

Kindly help :-

my code :- 

data      Bill_Summary;

Answer depends upon whether you want to output records for all months or only those with non-missing balances. The following is for the latter:

data Bill_Summary (keep=client_ID balance month_num month_name);
  infile  '/folders/myfolders/Jonty/Rawdata_files/Client_ID_12_months_bill.txt' truncover;
  informat month1-month12 Dollar10.2;
  input      client_ID $ month1-month12;
  array months(*) month1-month12;
  do i=1 to dim(months);
    if not missing(months(i)) then do;
      balance=month(i);
      month_num=i;
      month_name=put(mdy(i,1,2017),monname.);
      output;
    end;
  end;
run;

It's often a good idea to separate your formats from your INPUT statement. You can do it, but it's easier, IMO, to separate them out and then it tends to work as expected.  

If you run a PROC IMPORT first, set GUESSINGROWS to a high number and then use/modify the code in the log as needed.
