NOTE: Invalid data for DOB in line 6 9-15.
2 The raw data line is printed with a ruler.
RULE:----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6 6 1 SMITH 1/23/66 68 144 M 26
Aside: Notice how the error message "for DOB in line 6 9-15" points you to the variable being read, the line number and the column range where the input error occurred.
3 The resulting values of all the variables (after the input process) are printed.
ID=1 LASTNAME=SMITH DOB=. HEIGHT=68 WEIGHT=144 GENDER=M AGE=26 _ERROR_=1 _N_=1
Aside: The special variables _ERROR_ and _N_ are used in the data set
to indicate whether a run-time error has occurred with this observation, and
to indicate how many times the data step has executed.
These two variables are not included in the output dataset.
4 The data step keeps running.
NOTE: The data set WORK.WONTWORK has 4 observations and 7 variables.
Also see that the Proc Print output shows that a dataset with values was created. All the variables have been given values for all the observations (a missing value is a value).
