Which line contains a syntax error?
In the provided code snippet, Line 3 contains a syntax error. The keep statement is used incorrectly here; the correct keyword to use is where in order to filter the dataset. The correct line should be something like:
where Make = 'Honda';
So, the keep statement on Line 3 is not properly used, and also there appears to be a missing quotation mark at the end of 'Honda' which should be closed before the semicolon.
SAS documentation for the where statement.
Which step reads the SASHELP. BASEBALL data set and creates the temporary data set CATCHERS?
The step that reads the SASHELP.BASEBALL data set and creates the temporary data set CATCHERS is:
data catchers;
set sashelp.baseball;
where position='C';
run;
This DATA step creates a new data set named catchers by reading in data from sashelp.baseball and selecting only those observations where the variable position has the value 'C', which stands for catchers.
When the following code is submitted, execution fails.
Why does the execution fail?
Which ODS EXCEL statement correctly creates an Excel workbook using the ANALYSIS style?
The correct syntax for creating an Excel workbook using the ODS (Output Delivery System) Excel destination with a specific style is provided by option D. The syntax is as follows: ods excel file='c:\report.xlsx' style=analysis; This statement instructs SAS to output the results of subsequent procedures to an Excel workbook located at c:\report.xlsx, applying the ANALYSIS style to the output. The file= option specifies the path and name of the Excel file to be created or overwritten, and the style= option indicates the style template to be used for the output. The ANALYSIS style is one of the predefined styles that can be applied to the output to control the appearance of tables and graphs. Other options like A) and B) are incorrect due to syntax errors and misplacement of keywords. Option C) has a typo in the file path and incorrect syntax usage. Reference: SAS 9.4 Output Delivery System: User's Guide.
You submit a program and the SAS log is shown below:
Which statement is true regarding the submitted program?
The correct answer is C. The DATA step and PROC PRINT steps ran without errors. In the SAS log shown, there is a clear error in the PROC SORT step because of the use of an incorrect option by ascending Increase which caused the 'Variable ASCENDING not found' error. However, the DATA step completed successfully, as indicated by the 'NOTE' that follows it, confirming that 56 observations were read from the SASHELP.SHOES data set where Region is Africa. Additionally, the PROC PRINT step also completed successfully, indicated by the 'NOTE' at the bottom of the log which confirms that 56 observations were read from the WORK.AFRICA data set, implying the PROC PRINT step executed without issue.
A is incorrect because the error in PROC SORT did not cause the program to stop; SAS continued processing the next steps. B is incorrect because the PROC SORT step did not run successfully. D is incorrect because the PROC PRINT step did not fail; it ran successfully.
