I'm still learning this shit and I hate copying/pasting shit loads of data into my code, so I typically use infile to bring in files.

however, I've either forgotten something or I'm just not doing something right...

data one;
infile 'file.txt'
input date $ season $ system $ y;
run;

proc print;
run;

file.txt is in the current directory, tab delimited.

I get a bunch of errors and the output is nothing but the first column being displayed through each row and column

It's running through XP mode so it's a pain to copy/paste things to here.
