3. Exploring and validating data : PROC steps
1. Procedures

Continuous variables: Means, Univariate


Categorical variables: FREQ

2. Filtering rows “where expression…;”

4. Preparing data: Data Step

1. Reading data

Remark: use of Format in Data step.

2. New variables
- Use of SAS functions

- Numeric functions
- Character functions
- Date functions

3. Conditional processing IF…. THEN….. ELSE…..

- In the IF : compound conditions are OK


- In the THEN: only 1 statement
- If you need more statements: use IF…. THEN DO……

5. Analyzing and reporting on data : Procedure

- Create titles, footnotes and labels


- Remark: labels in Proc step compared to labels in Data step.
- Categorical variables: Proc FREQ;
- Continuous variables: Proc MEANS; (use of CLASS statement)

6. Exporting results : Data step or Proc step


- To Excel

- Use ODS excel to export reports to multiple worksheets in Excel workbook

Remark: Be sure to close the ODS location at the end of the program! (ODS excel cose;)

7. Using SQL in SAS

 Create: Create a SAS data set


 Select: Select the columns
 From: data set (table) from which you read data
 Where: Filter rows
 ORDER BY: sorting the output

Questions

1.

Remark:

1. SAS accepts underscore in the names of variables


2. The problem here is that in the keep statement of the 2nd program, you have to keep
Pressure_Group (with underscore) and not PressureGroup (without underscore).
