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.
