You can create HTML
output using programming statements on any SAS platform. In addition,
on all except mainframe platforms, you can use SAS windows to specify
HTML as a result format.
Correct answer: d
As long as you specify
an informat with the correct field width for reading the entire date
value, the YEARCUTOFF= option does not affect date values that have
four-digit years.
Correct answer: a
A SAS engine is a set
of internal instructions that SAS uses for writing to and reading
from files in a SAS library. Each engine specifies the file format
for files that are stored in the library, which in turn enables SAS
to access files with a particular format. Some engines access SAS
files, and other engines support access to other vendors' files.
Correct answer: a
To print a summary of
library contents with the CONTENTS procedure, use a period to append
the _ALL_ option to the libref. Adding the NODS option suppresses
detailed information about the files.
Correct answer: b
Librefs must be 1 to
8 characters long, must begin with a letter or underscore, and can
contain only numbers, letters, or underscores. After you assign a
libref, you specify it as the first level in the two-level name for
a SAS file.
Correct answer: a
The YEARCUTOFF= option
specifies which 100-year span is used to interpret two-digit year
values. The default value of YEARCUTOFF= is 1920.
However, you can override the default and change the value of YEARCUTOFF=
to the first year of another 100-year span. If you specify YEARCUTOFF=1950,
then the 100-year span will be from 1950 to 2049.
Correct answer: c
The LIBNAME statement
is global, which means that librefs stay in effect until changed or
canceled, or until the SAS session ends. Therefore, the LIBNAME statement
assigns the libref for the current SAS session only. You must assign
a libref before accessing SAS files that are stored in a permanent
SAS data library.
Correct answer: b
In the LIBNAME statement,
you specify the library name before the engine name. Both are followed
by the path.
