Thank you for the reply Patrick.   I believe the first line contains field of Fname and Lname;                the second line contains field of Address (with street name and number) ;                the third line contains field of city, state and zipcode.   I wrote the code as such :                                           data info;                                           infile "/folders/myfolders/SAS Practice.txt";                                           input #1    Fname:$6.   Lname :$6.                                                    #2    Address : $21.                                                    #3    City : $10.   State :$2.   Zipcode;                                           run;   But the result only showed  number on the address , and incomplete city.  Could you tell me where it went wrong? Thanks.   ... View more
