         Through in a DSD option before MISSOVER, that should take care of
it.

I have a dataset with missing values...my problem is that the missing
values do not appear as missing values "."(default). I use the
missover option but I still have the same problem.

For example: I have 50 Observations and 5 variables. The below code
outputs 50 obs and 5 variables but the missing values do not appear so
the values from the next column is put in place of the missing values
in the previous column.


this is my code:

data newdata;
infile "c:\newdata1.TXT" dlm="," missover LRECL=25;
input           x1
                x2 $
                x3 $
                x4 $
                x5;

run;

Any help appreciated. Thanks.
