use 'file handle' to locate the file and allow it to exceed the
default record length by using the /lrecl=13000
option
file handle name=indata/file='c:\temp\newdata.dat'/lrecl=13000.
you do need to say either which columns each variable is in (unless
the data is delimited) using the data list or get data commands. For
example, this will read each column into a numeric variable:
data list file=indata fixed/n1 to n13000 (13000f1).
Post another query about reading the data if there are text variables
or multi-column variables, or if the file is comma-delimited.
