Fix SAS data input alignment - remove list statement and leading whitespace

[Copilot]

SAS list input was misreading data values due to leading whitespace before data lines and an incorrectly placed list; statement, causing "karim" to be read into the Sexe column instead of Nom.

Changes

• Removed list; statement - This statement was interfering with the INPUT statement's default list input behavior
• Eliminated leading whitespace - Data lines now start at column 1, ensuring proper tokenization for space-delimited input
• Updated to Datalines; - Replaced deprecated Cards; syntax

Example

Data menages_init;
    length Nom $ 10;
    input Nom $ Sexe $ Revenu Epargne Anciennete Statut_familial $;
    Datalines;
karim H 38.5 5.9 10 marie
fatima F 31.2 3.8 6 celib
;
Run;

With list input, SAS reads space-delimited values sequentially. Leading whitespace on data lines causes the parser to treat it as the first token, shifting all subsequent values into wrong columns.

Original prompt

Data menages_init;
length Nom $ 10;
input Nom $ Sexe $ Revenu Epargne Anciennete Statut_familial $;
list;
Cards;
