Syntax Conventions
In this book, SAS syntax
looks like this example:
DATA output-SAS-data-set
(DROP=variables(s) | KEEP=variables(s));
SET SAS-data-set <options>;
BY variable(s);
RUN;
Here are the conventions
that are used in the example:
-
DATA, DROP=, KEEP=, SET, BY, and RUN are in uppercase bold because they must be spelled as shown.
-
output-SAS-data-set, variable(s), SAS-data-set, and options are in italics because each represents a value that you supply.
-
<options> is enclosed in angle brackets because it is optional syntax.
-
DROP= and KEEP= are separated by a vertical bar ( | ) to indicate that they are mutually exclusive.
The example syntax that
is shown in this book includes only what you need to know in order
to prepare for the certification exam. For complete syntax, see the
appropriate SAS reference guide.
