Reading fixed width file - spaces are recognized - import

Question

I am trying to read this fixed width data into SAS:
John Garcia 114 Maple Ave.
Sylvia Chung 1302 Washington Drive
Martha Newton 45 S.E. 14th St.
I used this code:
libname mysas 'c:\users\LELopez243\mysas';
filename address 'c:\users\LELopez243\mysas\address.dat';
data mysas.address2;
infile address;
input Name $ 1-15 Number 16-19 Street $ 22-37;
run;
proc print data=mysas.address2;
run;
Got this result:
Obs Name Number Street
1 John Garcia 114 Sylvia Chung 1
2 Martha Newton 45
If I edit the .dat file and manually add spaces at the end of each line until they are each the same length, the code works. Any ideas for code that takes into account differing line lengths (w/o manually entering spaces).

Answer 1

Add the truncover option to your infile statement.
Truncover overrides the default behavior of the INPUT statement when an input data record is shorter than the INPUT statement expects. By default, the INPUT statement automatically reads the next input data record. TRUNCOVER enables you to read variable-length records when some records are shorter than the INPUT statement expects. Variables without any values assigned are set to missing.
