There is another issus troubling me.


File: D:\SAS_KODE\k_sert_1\sasdata\mynumbers.txt
----+----1----+----2

22
333
4444
55555


data numbers;
   infile 'D:\SAS_KODE\k_sert_1\sasdata\mynumbers.txt';
   input TestNumber 5.;
run;
proc print data=numbers;
   title 'Test DATA Step';
run;

The output:

Obs TestNumber
1 333
2 55555


data numbers;
   infile datalines;
   input TestNumber 5.;
   datalines;
22
333
4444
55555
;
proc print data=numbers;
   title 'Test DATA Step';
run;

The output:

Obs TestNumber
1 22
2 333
3 4444
4 55555

Why don't I get just two records as output the second time too, why
this divergency when using a raw data file and using the datalines
within the program ?
