SAS Test

1. SAS date values are the number of days since January 1, 1960. The MMDDYY8 informat should be used to read dates in the form 10222001. The DO WHILE statement repetitively executes code while a condition is true. If the data set clinic.fitness is subset on group=2 and age>40, only the variables age and group will appear in the new data set work.cardiac. 2. The INFILE statement identifies the raw data file to be read and the OBS= option specifies to read only records 1-15. When the third error occurs in a DATA step, the value of the automatic variable _ERROR_ will be 2.
