Wait, are we sure about that? Seems like it could be 1 combined file.

I think it's 3 PDF files, one for each procedure.

I agree with Iluminada, 2 files sounds right.

I believe we should get 3 PDF files because each procedure generates its own output, but I need to double-check that.

I’m a bit confused about whether the output is combined or separate. I feel like it could be 1 PDF file if they merge.

I remember a practice question where we had to determine how many outputs were generated, and I think it was based on the number of procedures used.

I think we might end up with 2 PDF files since there are two data sets involved, but I'm not entirely sure.

I've got this! The ODS PDF statement is used once, so there will be 1 PDF file created that contains the output from both the PRINT and FREQ procedures.

Okay, let me break this down step-by-step. The code is running two procedures - PRINT and FREQ - on two different data sets, Work.Ds1 and Work.Ds2. So I'm guessing the number of PDF files created will depend on how the ODS PDF statement is used.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the different PDF file options here. I'll need to carefully read through the code and think it through.

B) 2 PDF files -- one file for each data set used. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Now, where's the vending machine? I need a sugar rush before this test.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm going to have to go with C) 2 PDF files -- one for the PRINT output and one for the FREQ output. That seems like the most logical answer to me.

Yes, having one PDF file for PRINT output and one for FREQ output seems like the most logical choice.

Definitely B) 2 PDF files. The code is clearly processing two data sets, so it makes sense that it would create two separate PDF files.

I think D) 3 PDF files -- one per procedure request is the right answer. The program has two PROC PRINT and one PROC FREQ, so it should create three PDF files.

The correct answer is B) 2 PDF files -- one file for each data set used. The SAS program is using two PROC PRINT and PROC FREQ statements, each with a different data set, so it will create two separate PDF files.
