Works for me - please post your SASlog as code.
Code:
DATA WORK;
INFILE IN;
FILE OUT1;
INPUT @1 INF $CHAR76.;
PUT @1 INF $CHAR76.;
RUN;
Code:
AAA THIS IS TEST..........................
AAA THIS IS NOT TEST......................
CCC
BBB THIS IS TEST..........................
BBB THIS IS NOT TEST

If you are reading a variable blocked record, you will not, by default get the third line because the record is not 76 bytes long. Change your infile statement to:
Code:
INFILE IN truncover;
and I am pretty certain that your problem will go away (default, I believe) is SKIPOVER.
