Course Description
Overview
This course is designed to teach intermediate-level SAS users to manipulateand manage data using SAS functions, DO loops, and SAS arrays.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Summarize the DATA step
- Read almost any kind of record layout to create a SAS data set
- Manipulate data using SAS functions – including many of the new SAS9 functions
- Read and generate data using DO loops
- Use SAS arrays to manipulate data
- Perform advanced joins of SAS data sets using the SET and MERGE statements
Audience
- SAS Users who have been using the SAS System for a short time and who want to move their understanding to the next level
