Types of Input Styles in SAS Programming

In SAS programming, there are several types of input styles that can be used to read data into the system:

  1. Formatted Input: This input style in SAS allows the user to specify the format of the input data using formats like DATE, DOLLAR, etc.
  2. List Input: List input is used when data values are read in a fixed column format with each variable's position predefined.
  3. Column Input: With column input, data values are read based on the specific column positions, which can be useful for structured data.

These are the primary types of input styles available in SAS programming that offer flexibility and efficiency in data processing.
