This example imports the following tab-delimited file and creates a
temporary SAS data set named WORK.CLASS. On an ASCII platform, the hexadecimal
representation of a tab is '09'x. On an EBCDIC platform, the hexadecimal representation
of a tab is a '05'x. The first observation read will be observation 5 due
to the DATAROW= specification. GETNAMES= defaults to 'yes'.
