| Statements with the Same Function in Multiple Procedures |
Several statements are available and have
the same function
in a number of base SAS procedures. Some of the statements are fully documented
in SAS Language Reference: Dictionary, and others are documented in this section. The following list
shows you where to find more information about each statement:
- ATTRIB
- affects the procedure output and the output data set. The
ATTRIB statement does not permanently alter the variables in the input data
set. The LENGTH= option has no effect. See SAS Language Reference: Dictionary for complete documentation.
- BY
- orders the output according to the BY groups. See
BY .
- FORMAT
- affects the procedure output and the output data set. The
FORMAT statement does not permanently alter the variables in the input data
set. The DEFAULT= option is not valid. See SAS Language Reference: Dictionary for complete documentation.
- FREQ
- treats observations as if they appear multiple times in
the input data set. See FREQ .
- LABEL
- affects the procedure output and the output data set. The
LABEL statement does not permanently alter the variables in the input data
set except when it is used with the MODIFY statement in PROC DATASETS. See SAS Language Reference: Dictionary
for complete documentation.
- QUIT
- executes any statements that have not executed and ends
the procedure. See QUIT .
- WEIGHT
- specifies weights for analysis variables in the statistical
calculations. See WEIGHT .
- WHERE
- subsets the input data set by specifying certain conditions
that each observation must meet before it is available for processing. See
WHERE .
