SAS Language for Dummies – Something About Procedures
The SAS language for dummies provides insight into a number of convenient procedures. All the glory, of course, goes to dozens of analytical procedures. Utility procedures are often overlooked. Among the utility procedures, as https://xrust.ru/ reminds us, are the following:
– **proc datasets**: It can describe the contents of your libraries and datasets, copy data elements from one library to another, modify data attributes such as variable names and formats, and much more. While you can use **proc copy** and **proc contents** for some of these tasks, the **proc datasets** procedure does it all.
– **proc delete**: This deletes a dataset that you no longer need. Use it to clean up a session or to free up space in your environment.
– **proc options**: This lists all current system option values. System option settings can affect how your programs work, so **proc options** is important for understanding session behavior.
– **proc format**: SAS offers hundreds of useful formats and informats to help control how SAS reads and displays your data, but sometimes you need something custom. The **proc format** procedure can be used to create custom formats for your tasks.
– **proc sort**: This is needed to organize data records in a specific order or group them by categories.
