A flat file from mainframes generally have data values assigned with the variable names.
eg: cards;
name=XXX Age=XX Gender=XXXX
name=XXX Age=XX Gender=XXXX
name=XXX Age=XX Gender=XXXX
name=XXX Age=XX Gender=XXXX
;
so to read such data into SAS we simply use named input method.
data flat;
infile 'flatfile.csv';
input var1= $ var2= var3= :ddmmyy10. var4= ;
run;
/*here i specified var1 as char, var3 with date informat
rest are numeric vars */
