当list input读入非标准数值或长于8字符的字符变量时，需要加:

那么，下面两个程序，为什么一个必须加：而另一个不需要。

data test;
input country $8. date mmddyy10.;
cards;
Germany 12/31/2000
France 01/31/2001
;
run;

1---+----10---+----20---+---
son Frank 01/31/89
daughter June 12-25-87
brother Samuel 01/17/51

data work.family;
infile 'file-specification';
input relation $ first_name $ birthdate : mmddyy8.;
run;

There is a couple of knowledge points here.
1)An informat not only tells SAS how many positions should be read in but also inplies/defines variable length for a char variable.  2)The column modifier has a special input instruction. Here is its definition in this case.

Usually (:) the column modifier is needed for a variable-length record/observation when one also uses informats on an input statement.



:
enables you to specify an informat that the INPUT statement uses to read the variable value. For a character variable, this format modifier reads the value from the next non-blank column until the pointer reaches the next blank column, the defined length of the variable, or the end of the data line, whichever comes first. For a numeric variable, this format modifier reads the value from the next non-blank column until the pointer reaches the next blank column or the end of the data line, whichever comes first.

顶一下！！！

Good point! Thanks!

我运行了一下，不加：也行啊！

在sas中run了一下，用不用：结果都没有差别。

但第一个data步里input语句的$8. 会把后面的0读入，应该把$8.改为$

汗，这两段程序是50题里的，看来还是要仔细看啊。
