Hi SAS-Lers,

I need to create a tst dataset with 7 observations not 4. How do I
create 7 obs with lyn having values 1-4 and 3 values of ' '. I hope
this is message readable. The inline data is 7 records 1,' ',2,' ',3,'
' and 4. Infile seems to ignore blank lines and I need infile to honor
blank lines.

data tst;
length lyn $80;
input;
put _infile_ $hex2.;
lyn=_infile_;
datalines;
1

run;

31147 data tst;
31148 length lyn $80;
31149 input;
31150 put _infile_ $hex2.;
31151 lyn=_infile_;
31152 datalines;

The hidden dragon works, but I don't want to have the dragon in my
dataset.

data tst;
length lyn $80;

put _infile_ $hex2.;
lyn=_infile_;
