Not sure what else is wrong since you don't show all the code, but the
statements like:
IF PP1  = 'Y' THEN DO;
 @101 DATA3 $CHAR10.
@;
END;

should produce error messages and caused the program to stop.

Hi Guys , I was facing a peculiar problem while writing the sas
datafile.

consider the following statements

@1 data1 $char10.
@12 data2 $char19.
@70 'C'
@;
IF PP1  = 'Y' THEN DO;
 @101 DATA3 $CHAR10.
@;
END;
IF PP2  = 'Y' THEN DO;
 @153 DATA3 $CHAR10.
@;
END;
IF PP3  = 'Y' THEN DO;
 @201 DATA3 $CHAR10.
;
END;

NOW ONLY THOSE RECORDS WERE WRITTEN FROM THE INCOMING DATASET WHICH HAD
ALL THE VARIABLE PP1,PP2,PP3 CONDITION SATISFIED.

REST WERE JUST NOT WRITTEN.

WHAT CAN BE A POSSIBLE REASON FOR THIS ????
