This document discusses how to read in raw data with missing values into SAS. It explains that the MISSOVER option can be used to read missing values at the end of a record, while the DSD option allows reading missing values at the beginning or middle of a record by treating two consecutive delimiters as a missing value and removing quotation marks from values. The DLM= option can also be used to change the default delimiter from a comma.
