Hello, I've been trying to read this dataset into SAS Studio (Release: 3.71 - Basic Edition). As shown below, everything is in double quotes: "log.radon" "floor" "uranium" "county" "county.name" "1" "0.78845736036427" "1" "-0.6890475953545" "1" "AITKIN " "2" "0.78845736036427" "0" "-0.6890475953545" "1" "AITKIN " "3" "1.06471073699243" "0" "-0.6890475953545" "1" "AITKIN " (more lines of data here) "917" "1.6094379124341" "0" "-0.0900242748478867" "84" "WRIGHT " "918" "1.30833281965018" "0" "0.355286981163884" "85" "YELLOW MEDICINE " "919" "1.06471073699243" "0" "0.355286981163884" "85" "YELLOW MEDICINE " data temp; length ID Radon Floor Uranium County countyname $ 40; infile "&path/radon.MN.txt" dlm='" "' firstobs=2; input ID Radon Floor Uranium County countyname$; run; All of my numeric variables read in perfectly, but my one character variable will read in only the first word. For example, obs 919's county.name is "YELLOW MEDICINE" but I the output just says YELLOW. Because SAS stops after it reaches the first space between words and moves the next word to a new variable, I am guessing it's a problem with how I'm setting up dlm. How can I prevent this miscommunication with SAS so that it reads in everything between double quotes and not just the first word? Note: I've tried dsd but the error message seems to say that won't work with this file. "ERROR: Quotes (' or ") have been detected in the delimiter (DLM=) string. Quotes cannot be used as delimiter characters when the DSD option is also specified." Also, I apologize for anything in this post that I've formatted poorly or vaguely. I appreciate any formatting feedback, too. Thank you for any thoughts or suggestions. Nicole
