can someone please tell me what Im doing wrong in SAS 9.4...The data set rats contains the following variables, in order, on a set of eight rats:

rat, rat number

dob, date of birth

disease, date of disease

death, date of death

group, treatment group

Save the file to a convenient location on your computer, and then without editing the data in any way read the ascii file into a temporary SAS data set called rats. You will probably need to access SAS Help and Documentation to learn the appropriate informat to read in the dates. When reading in the data, do what you need to do to read in rat and group, but use a relative pointer control to read in dob and absolute pointer controls to read in disease and death.

Print the resulting data set, formatting the variables as necessary so that when printed they make sense. Set your page size to 56, your line size to 78, center the output, and suppress the printing of the date and time that the output was created.
