Question No. 1

Variable Name would have a format of $CHAR15. in the new data set Work. Both. The LENGTH statement only gives the variable Name a predefined maximum length. The correct answer is: $CHAR15 Given the SAS data set WORK.ONE:

X Y Z

- - --

1 A 27

1 A 33

1 B 45

2 A 52

2 B 69

3 B 70

4 A 82

4 C 91

Question No. 2

SIMULATION

Scenario:

This project will use data set cert.input13. At any time, you may

save your program as program13 in cert\programs.

This data set contains 1001 observations and 2 variables:

o Date1, a numeric variable representing an unformatted

SAS date value. Example: 12001.

o Charnum, a character variable representing a monetary

amount. Example: $50,000.

Write a SAS program that will:

o Save the new data set as results.output13.

o Create a new variable Chdate that converts

the datel variable to a character variable that is in the

format ddmonyyyy, such as 11NOV1992.

o Create a new variable num1 that converts

the Charnum variable to a numeric variable.

What is the average (mean) of the num1 variable for the entire data set?

Enter your numeric answer in the space below (Round your answer to the nearest

integer).

Correct Answer: A

data results.output13;

set cert.input13;

Chdate=put(date 1,date9.);

num 1=input(Charnum,dollar7.);

run;

proc means data=results.output13;

var num 1;

run;


Question No. 3

SIMULATION

This project will use data set cert.input08a and cert.input08b. At

any time, you may save your program

as program08 in cert\programs.

Both data sets contain a common numeric variable named ID.

Write a program that will use a SAS DATA Step to:

o Combine data sets cert.input08a and cert.input08b by

matching values of the ID variable.

o Write only observations that are in both data sets to a

new data set named results.match08.

o Write all other non-matching observations from either

data set to a new data set named results.nomatch08.

o Exclude all variables that begin with

"ex" from results.nomatch08.

How many observations (rows) are inresults.match08?

Enter your numeric answer in the space below:

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

SAS code that could be used to solve this project:

proc sort data=cert.input08a out=work.input08a;

by ID;

run;

proc sort data=cert.input08b out=work.input08b;

by ID;

run;

data results.match08 results.nomatch08 (drop=ex: );

merge work.input08a (in=a) work.input08b (in=b);

by ID;

if a and b then output results.match08;

else output results.nomatch08;

run;

proc contents data=results.match08;

run:

proc contents data=results.nomatch08;

run;

The correct answer is: 1200

Question No. 5

SIMULATION

Scenario:

Open the existing program, program48.sasfrom folder cert\errors. At any time, you may save your corrected program asprogram48incert\programs. This program is intended to:

O Create 3 groups for C var: A-G is Group=1; H-N is Group=2; O-Z is Group=3.

O All variations of the variable should be in the same group, i.e. "A" and "a" should be in Group=1.

O Calculate the average of X and Y by Group. There are multiple errors in the program. These may be syntax errors, logic errors, or problems with the program structure. Logic errors might not produce messages in the log, but will cause the program to produce results different than intended. Correct the errors, run the program, and then use the results to answer the next 2 questions. What is the average (mean) of X for Group=2? Enter your answer to the nearest whole number.
