Answer: d
The CARDS statement enables you to read instream data. Any number of consecutive commas
are considered to be a single delimiter as a result of the DLM= option, and the length of each variable defaults to 8 bytes. Therefore, the values jones, brownjon, and spencer are assigned to Agent1, Agent2, and Agent3, respectively, for the first observation. The rest of the data on the record is not read by the INPUT statement and is not output to the data set.
Correct Answer is brownjon, (A) can be considered.
dlm treats two cosecutive commas (,,) as one delimeter.
D is the correct answer.
D?
