On the same lines need some more clarification:- data exp3; infile datalines delimiter=","; INPUT SNO :8. cat :$char150.; datalines; 1, main category 1 - orthopedics 2, sub category 3, main category sub 2 - hemotology 4, sub category 2 ; run; If I manually align the sub category to come below the - of main category it gets automatically aligned with less spacing, but if i put any other character like '*' in place of space, then it works. Reason being i am trying to create a template for report. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Nilesh
