ACTIVITY – 3

Vishwas Dhabhai B.Tech – IT A213

Q1] Can arithmetic operators be used with the character variables?


- No.

Q2] What is the option for going to a specific line number of a code?
- Enter line number and the cursor will take you to the line.
-

Q3] What is the option to quickly format a code that is currently open in SAS Code
window?

Q4] Paste the icon for an option available in SAS Studio interface to quickly clear the
contents of a SAS Code.
Q5] Will the following code display all the observations having age and height greater
than OR equal to 72? Explain.

footnote "Activity submitted on %sysfunc(today(), date9.)at


%sysfunc(time(),timeampm.)";
proc print data = SASHELP.CLASS noobs;
var Name Sex Age Height Weight;
sum weight;
where height and age>=72;
title ‘MBA Students’;
run;

- Output comes as no observations because the condition is not applicable for age
and it is only applicable for height.

Q6] Does ‘Format Code’ option available in toolbar adjusts the spacing between
adjacent words?

- No

Q7] “Name of the SAS dataset input is displayed in the ‘Results’ tab”. What is the
fallacy in this statement?

- Name of the class is not displayed.

Q8] What is the fallacy in the output of the following code? How to correct it?
footnote "Activity submitted on %sysfunc(today(), date9.)at
%sysfunc(time(),timeampm.)";
proc print data = sashelp.class noobs;
id name;
var Name Sex Age Height Weight;
sum weight;
where age between 11 and 13;
title ‘MBA Students’;
run;
- The ‘Name’ column repeats twice in the output. We can remove ‘Name’ from the
var statement.

Task 1: Use ‘CLASS’ dataset (from Libraries –> My Libraries -> SASHELP) for input
and create an output dataset sorted by name in ascending order and age in descending
order.

proc sort data= SASHELP.class


out= WORK.class2;
by descending age;
by name;
run;
TASK 2: Use ‘CLASS’ dataset (from Libraries –> My Libraries -> SASHELP) for
input and create an output dataset sorted by AGE in ascending. Print it with the BY
variable age to show subtotals of height.
proc sort data= SASHELP.class
out= WORK.class1;
by age;
run;

proc print data=WORK.class1;


by age;
sum height;
run;
Task 3: Use ‘CLASS’ dataset (from Libraries –> My Libraries -> SASHELP) for input
and print it with titles, footnote and labels.
proc print data=SASHELP.class LABEL;
TITLE "Student Table";
footnote "A217";
LABEL NAME="Student Name";
run;

Task 3: Use ‘CLASS’ dataset (from Libraries –> My Libraries -> SASHELP) for input
and print it with split option.
proc print data=SASHELP.class split='*';
var Name Age Height Weight;
LABEL Name="Na * me";
run;
