Hi everybody! I encountered a question in the input statement. I want to create a dataset with one variable and three observations. Each observation is a single digit. The data step I wrote is the following: data k; input x 1. @@; datalines; 123 ; run; Those three digits are next to each other and I want them to lie in three observations. When I ran the data step, it gave a data set with 80 observations and one variable x. The first three observations are 1, 2 and 3. The rest of the observations are all missing value. You could run it if you like. Could you be so kind to tell me why it happened? It should be a dataset with variable x and three observations. Thanks a lot!
