SAS A00-215 Exam - Topic 11 Question 48 Discussion

Actual exam question for SAS's A00-215 exam
Question #: 48
Topic #: 11
[All A00-215 Questions]

Which option renames the variable Name to StudentName when reading the ClassRoster data set?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

To rename a variable when reading a dataset in SAS, you use the rename= option inside the parentheses following the dataset's name in the set statement. The correct syntax for renaming the variable 'Name' to 'StudentName' is: rename=(oldname=newname). Therefore, the correct option is A, which correctly places the old variable name 'Name' first, followed by an equal sign, and then the new variable name 'StudentName'. The parentheses enclose the rename operation, and it is correctly nested within the set statement.

I have a hunch that option C has a typo with "renaiae," but I can't remember if that's a common mistake in these questions.

Option B seems off to me; I don't think you can just concatenate variable names like that.

I feel pretty confident about this one. Option A uses the proper RENAME syntax to change the variable name as required.
