[All A00-215 Questions]

Which LABEL statement has correct syntax?

ALabel FName=' First Name' ;
LName =; Last Name' ;

BLabel FName=' First Name'
LName =' Last Name' ;

CLabel FName=' First Name' and
LName =' Last Name' ;

DLabel FName=' First Name' ,
LName =; Last Name' ;

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

In SAS, the correct syntax for assigning labels to variables is to use the LABEL statement within a DATA step or a PROC step. Labels are assigned to variables using the format variable='label'. The correct syntax for the LABEL statement is represented by option B.

Here's the breakdown:

FName='First Name' correctly assigns the label First Name to the variable FName.

LName='Last Name' correctly assigns the label Last Name to the variable LName.

Each variable and label pair is separated by a space, and the overall statement ends with a semicolon, which is the proper syntax for a LABEL statement in SAS.

Options A, C, and D are incorrect due to various syntax errors like the use of the wrong character for the apostrophe, missing apostrophes, incorrect punctuation, and in the case of option C, an incorrect conjunction 'and' which is not used in LABEL statements.

C is definitely wrong, can't use "and" like that.

Option B is the winner! Anything else is just asking for a syntax error.

D) is the most confusing. The comma and semicolon usage is inconsistent.

I think C) is the way to go. Using "and" to connect the label statements makes it more readable.
