Nope, it's definitely C, depends on options!

Surprised to see people think it's just PROC APPEND!

I thought it could be PROC SQL too, isn't that an option?

Launa 12 months ago

Totally agree, PROC APPEND is the way to go!

A is correct, it uses PROC APPEND.

I thought it was DATA STEP APPEND code, but now I'm questioning if that's correct.

I feel like I read somewhere that it can generate either PROC SQL or PROC APPEND, but I can't recall the specifics.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think it could also generate PROC SQL code depending on the options selected.

I think the Append to Existing option might generate PROC APPEND code, but I'm not completely sure.

The key here is understanding how the Table Loader works. I believe it has the flexibility to generate different types of code depending on the options, so I'm going to go with C as the best answer.

I'm leaning towards option B, PROC SQL code. But now I'm second-guessing myself. Maybe I should review the Table Loader functionality again before answering.

Okay, I think I've got this. The Append to Existing load style in the Table Loader should generate PROC APPEND code, which is option A. I'm feeling confident about that.

Alida 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the Table Loader can do appends, but I'm not sure if it generates PROC APPEND or something else. I'll need to double-check the documentation to be sure.

I heard the Append to Existing load style also comes with a free unicorn. Just gotta check that little box, you know?

Data step APPEND? That's a bold move, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.

Hmm, I'm thinking it's option C. Gotta keep those options open, you know? Maybe it'll surprise us with some PROC SQL magic too.

PROC APPEND, huh? That's a classic. I wonder if it also generates some sassy comments in the code, like 'appending data like a boss!'
