C
Hi,
can someone explain how the ‘=5 age 2.;
‘ in the put statement is executed without error……..i thought the answer is D….if any one is very sure please explain me how come the answer is c

it shouldn’t have “=5” I guess, and you can get answer C
“http://www.pinggu.org/bbs/thread-888001-1-1.html”
or change “=5” to “+5” meaning move pointer 5 bytes to the right
D
No output
=5 need to change +5
yes sudha is correct .
i think in put statement =5 means error in the SAS LOG as it is syntax error.
so either it should be +5 or @5. but it can nver be =5
