a very large input file can contain at unpredictable locations '1A'x (hex 1A)

any input that just happens to collide on a line which contains this causes
termination of the data step and lost card

what's the best way to handle this?

do a scan of the entire line buffer and clean out the offending character?

ie . something like compress(_infile_,'1A'x) ?

Hi,

try ignoredoseof option:

infile 'd:\work\unpr.txt' ignoredoseof;

Regards,
Oleg.
