Discuss SAS A00-215 Exam Topic 9 Question 53

How many statements are in the following PROC PRINT step?

Suggested Answer: C

In the provided image of the SAS code for the PROC PRINT step, the following statements are present:

proc print data=sashelp.cars; - PROC PRINT step beginning

var Make Model MSRP MPG_City MPG_Highway Horsepower Weight; - VAR statement to specify variables to print

format Weight comma8.; - FORMAT statement to apply a format to a variable

The final run; statement which would be necessary to execute the PROC PRINT step is not visible in the image, but it can be inferred to be there since every PROC step must be ended with a run; or quit; statement.

Thus, there are four statements related to the PROC PRINT step.
