Option D with INDEXW? Really? Who even uses that obscure function anymore? Give me a break!

Haha, Option C with the FIND function? That's so last century, man. We're living in the future of SAS programming!

Yeah, Option A is definitely the modern approach to handling invalid values in SAS.

I think Option A is the way to go, using the INDEXC function.

I think Option B is the way to go. The INDEX function is a standard way to check for the presence of a substring.

Option A looks good to me. It checks if the value of TRT is not in the list of valid values 'ABC'.

I'm leaning towards D because indexw function searches for whole words.

But index function also searches for a substring, so it could be A as well.

I believe it's C because find function is used to search for a substring.
