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

Rebecka 10 months ago

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

Juan 11 months ago

I agree with Iluminada, 2 files sounds right.

Solange 11 months ago

I thought it would be 2 files for the PRINT and FREQ outputs.

Iluminada 11 months ago

Definitely 2 PDF files for the datasets!

Skye 11 months ago

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

Ty 12 months ago

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.

Adolph 12 months ago

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.

Jutta 1 year ago

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

Gladys 1 year ago

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.

Lonna 1 year ago

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.

Rosalind 1 year ago

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.

Meaghan 1 year ago

This looks like a pretty straightforward question about PDF output. I think I can figure this out.

Gary 1 year ago

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.

Gail 1 year ago

Hold on, I'm still trying to figure out how many paper clips I can fit in my mouth before the exam starts. PDF files? What are those?

Charlene 1 year ago

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.

King 1 year ago

↳ replying to Charlene

I agree, it makes sense to have separate PDF files for each type of output.

Mozell 1 year ago

↳ replying to Charlene

I think C) 2 PDF files -- one for the PRINT output and one for the FREQ output is the correct answer.

Serina 1 year ago

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.

Carol 1 year ago

↳ replying to Serina

So, the code will generate two PDF files, one for each data set.

Naomi 1 year ago

↳ replying to Serina

Yes, that's correct. Each data set usually results in a separate output file.

Leslie 1 year ago

↳ replying to Serina

I agree, it should be B) 2 PDF files since there are two data sets being used.

Cheryl 1 year ago

I believe the answer is C, because there are different types of output requested.

Vilma 2 years ago

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.

Mirta 1 year ago

↳ replying to Vilma

I think it will be 2 PDF files -- one file for the PRINT output and one for the FREQ output.

Samira 1 year ago

↳ replying to Vilma

I agree with option A) 1 PDF file with all the output combined.

Lettie 1 year ago

↳ replying to Vilma

I believe it will create 2 PDF files -- one for each data set used.

Royal 1 year ago

↳ replying to Vilma

I think D) 3 PDF files -- one per procedure request is the right answer.

Erick 2 years ago

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.

Miss 2 years ago

I agree with Mickie, because there are two data sets used.

Mickie 2 years ago

I think the answer is B.
