In this example, the DATA statement tells SAS to name the new data set, Boots, and store it in the temporary library Work. The SET statement in the DATA step specifies the output data set from the IMPORT procedure. You can use several statements in the DATA step to subset your data as needed. In this example, the WHERE statement is used with VAR1 to include only the observations where VAR1 is either South America or Canada.

proc import datafile="C:certdataoot.csv"
  out=shoes
  dbms=csv
  replace;
  getnames=no; 
run;
data boots;
  set shoes;
  where var1='South America' OR var1='Canada';
run;
