Hello, I am new to SAS and am using the The Little SAS book to educate myself. I have a question based on this example from Chapter 3 of the book: How does SAS know to read each dataline and compute the AvgScore, DayEntered and Type for each of the datalines? I was expecting to see a loop to read through the data line by line. Would like some clarity on how SAS reads this data in the pumpkin.dat file. Does it read the line 1 then go through the list of variables and then go to line 2 and do the same so on and so forth? Appreciate your help in understanding this.
