How to put column grids in a Raw Data File

I would like to know how to put the column grids (I am not sure what it is called so excuse me for using this name if incorrect) that looks like ----|---10----|---20--- ? I am guessing that there should be an option that I can use but I could not find one in my text book (the text book shows as if the column grids are there by default) I appreciate your help. data a; input name$ id age; cards; Ruth 39 11 Jose 32 22 Sue 30 33 John 40 44 ; run; data _null_; set a; file 'C:UsersstardustDesktopemployee'; put name 1-4 id 6-7 age 9-10; run; sas share | improve this question asked Nov 11 at 8:11 hyg17 163 8 Don't forget that adding any content to a data file that is not data must be filtered out when read back in.
