Hello,
I am using mainframe SAS and I would like understand the following INPUT statement especially the fields in paranthesis.
Code:

 INPUT @39   (INT_CALC_TYPE1-INT_CALC_TYPE8)    ($ 3.  +169)     
       @42   (INT_CALC_CODE1-INT_CALC_CODE8)    ($ 2.  +170)     
       @57   (CURRENTRATE1-CURRENTRATE8)        (PD5.6 +167)     
       @105  (INT_PAID_ITD1-INT_PAID_ITD8)      (PD6.2 +166)     
       @111  (INT_ACCRUED_MTD1-INT_ACCRUED_MTD8)(PD8.6 +164)     
       @119  (INT_ACCRUED_YTD1-INT_ACCRUED_YTD8)(PD8.6 +164)     
       @127  (INT_ACCRUED_ITD1-INT_ACCRUED_ITD8)(PD8.6 +164)     
       @135  (ORIG_ACCR_TERM1-ORIG_ACCR_TERM8)  (PD2.  +170)     
       @137  (RMNG_ACCR_TERM1-RMNG_ACCR_TERM8)  (PD2.  +170)     
       @139  (ACCRUALSTRTDTE1-ACCRUALSTRTDTE8)  (PD4.  +168)     
       @143  (ACCRUALLASTDTE1-ACCRUALLASTDTE8)  (PD4.  +168)     
       @57    CURRENTRATE    PD5.6                               
       @105   INT_PAID_ITD   PD6.2                               
       @111   INT_ACCRUED_MTD PD8.6                               
       @119   INT_ACCRUED_YTD PD8.6                               

Take for example: I see the statements:
Code:

 @57   (CURRENTRATE1-CURRENTRATE8)        (PD5.6 +167)
and
@57    CURRENTRATE    PD5.6       

What does this mean? When I output this to a permanent dataset using PUT statement, how should I handle these?

Thanks

Hi Kumar26fl,

Quote:

@57 (CURRENTRATE1-CURRENTRATE8) (PD5.6 +167)


Means it need to read the packed decimal field at starting position 57 for CURRENTRATE1 and then for CURRENTRATE2 till CURRENTRATE8 then the cursor will be moved 167 position forward.


Quote:

@57 CURRENTRATE PD5.6


means it will read packed deciamal data at position 57 for CURRENTRATE.

Thanks,
Chandra.
