Subject:      help: converting PC binary file to SAS dataset
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

I have trouble in converting a PC binary file into SAS dataset
I am running Window 95 SAS 6.12
 
The PC binary file which is 525,178,647 bytes
has the following documentation:
 
567
"a",C,1,1,0,1,0
"b",I,79,4,0,9,0
"c",F,564,4,0,9,1
 
I guess  "a", "b" and "c" are variable names,
C stands for character; "I" stands for Integer; and "F" for floating
point;
The first numeric for the starting position;
and the second for the length.
 
Please help me out. Thank you in advance.
