>DATA LRECL00(KEEP=L);
INFILE IN LENGTH=L;
INPUT @;
OUTPUT;
RUN;
...
First: L would not be a written variable.
It should be:
DATA LRECL00(KEEP=LEN);
INFILE IN LENGTH=L;
INPUT @ ;
LEN = L ;
Second: @ holds the line. You don't want that! You'll be stuck on the first
record forever. It should be:
INPUT; * this works *;
Third: you don't need the OUTPUT statement. If you leave it out, all records
are automagically written.
If you specify it then if there are no conditions it's the same as not
specifying it. With conditions, only if a record is explicitly output will it
appear in the output file.
Other than that, a good and simple example.
