Reading a Single Data Set
The data set
sasuser.admit contains health information
about patients in a clinic, their activity level, height and
weight. Suppose you want to create a small data set containing all
the men in the group who are older than fifty. To
create the data set, you must first reference the library in which
admit is stored and then the library in which you want
to store the males data set. Then you write a DATA
step to read your data and create a new data set.|
