SAS Base and Advanced Data Manager Boot Camp Classroom Training and Certification Classes

The basic structures of SAS are – Program Editor, Explorer Window and Log Window

Basic syntax style in SAS is done to run program successfully, and it has the following basic elements:

• There should be a semi-colon at the end of every line
• A data statement that defines your data set
• Input statement
• There should be at least one space between each word or statement
• A run statement

The Data step creates an SAS dataset which carries the data along with a “data dictionary.” The data dictionary holds the information about the variables and their properties.

Numeric and Character

In SAS, the “where” statement does not perform automatic conversions in comparisons

For Data Set: Data set name/ debug Data set: Name/stmtchk

For Macros: Options: mprint mlogic symbolgen

Proc glm performs simple and multiple regression, analysis of variance (ANOVAL), analysis of covariance, multivariate analysis of variance and repeated measure analysis of variance.

• Character Informats : $INFORMATw
• Numeric Informats : INFORMAT w.d
• Date/Time Informats: INFORMAT w.

NODUP compares all the variables in our dataset while NODUPKEY compares just the BY variables

Input function converts character data values to numeric values. Put function converts numeric values to character values.
