ROWw.d

Syntax Description

w

specifies the row where the field begins.

Range:

0-12

d

specifies the length in rows of the field.

Default:	1
Range:	1-25

Details

The ROWw.d informat assigns the relative position of the punch in the field to a numeric variable.

If the field that you specify has more than one punch, ROWw.d assigns the variable a missing value and sets the automatic variable _ERROR_ to 1. If the field has no punches, ROWw.d assigns the variable a missing value.

ROWw.d can read fields across columns, continuing with row 12 of the new column and going down through the rest of the rows. After ROWw.d reads a field, the pointer moves to the next row.

Examples

input x row5.3 
input x row7.1 
input x row5.2 
input x row3.5
