coolguy,

The missover option in the infile statement is used to assign the SAS missing value to variables not given a value in a data record. Example:

infile 'ozone.dat' missover linesize=100;

The MISSOVER option on the INFILE statement prevents SAS from going to a new input line if it does not find values in the current line for all the INPUT statement variables, that is some of the values are missing. With the MISSOVER option, when an INPUT statement reaches the end of the current record, values that are expected but not found are set to missing.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu

Ps: This is explained clearly in the sas manuals which you already got the link from your prior posts. Please read them first.
