You must be having some type of editor problems.
Actually when I copied your code from the email I got 10 lines. Each
of your blank lines pasted as two blank lines.
That code should treat lines with 0,1, or 100 blanks any differently.
What Operating System are you using? Are you running interactively or
submitting a backgroup SAS job?
