This problem is harder than it appears at first glance. Here is an outline of a program that will read the data. This program uses some things that you haven't yet seen: The new features are:

• trailing @ prevents SAS from moving to the next line of data after an input statement.
• more than one INPUT statement. If a line is held, it can be read with another input statement
• reading dates with two formats when the lengths differ at the end of a line.
