Base SAS 1. The following SAS program is submitted: data test; set sasuser.employees; if 2 le years_service le 10 then amount = 1000; else if years_service gt 10 then amount = 2000; else amount = 0; amount_per_year = years_service / amount; run; Which one of the following values values does the variable variable AMOUNT_PER_YEAR contain if an employee has been with the company for one year? A. 0 B. 1000 C. 2000 D. . (missing numeric value) Answer is D. First of all variable name cannot be more than 8 char long. So variable years_service and amount_per_year have to be renamed. /* program typed and the answer is D but as value divided by zero is missing */ I used following program to get to the answer: data test; service =1; if 2 le service le 10 then amount = 1000; else ifif service service gt 10 then then amount = 2000; else amount = 0; per_year = service / amount; run; Log file : NOTE: Division by zero detected at line 19 column 20.
SERVICE=1 AMOUNT=0 PER_YEAR=. _ERROR_=1 _N_=1 NOTE: Mathematical operations could not be performed at the following places. The results of the operations have been set to missing values. Each place is given by: (Number of times) at (Line):(Column). 1 at 19:20 Resulting Data set will have missing value for per_year variable because of division by zero. This error can be caught by a if then else loop with _ERROR_ and _N_ automatic variables.
2. The contents of the raw data file AMOUNT are listed below: ----|----10---|----20---|----30 $1,234 The following SAS program is submitted: data test; infile 'amount'; input @1 salary 6.; if _error_ then description = 'Problems'; else description = 'No Problems'; run; Which one of the following is the value of the DESCRIPTION variable? A. Problems B. No Problems C. ' ' (missing character value) D. The value can not be determined as the program fails to execute due to errors. Answer is A. Problems. The variable description should be 8 char in length. So changed my program to data test; salary = '$1,234'; mysal = input (salary, 6.); if _error_ then desc = 'Problems'; else desc = 'No Problems'; run; Invalid informat will flag _error_ variable as true (1) but will not stop the processing. mysal variable will be initialised with missing value in above program. Log file: NOTE: Invalid argument to function INPUT at line 29 column 9. SALARY=$1,234 MYSAL=. DESC=Problems _ERROR_=1 _N_=1 NOTE: Mathematical operations could not be performed at the following places. The results of the operations have been set to missing values. Each place is given by: (Number of times) at (Line):(Column). 1 at 29:9 NOTE: The data set WORK.TEST has 1 observations and 3 variables.
3. The contents of the raw data file NAMENUM are listed below: ----|----10---|----20---|----30 Joe xx The following SAS program is submitted: data test; infile 'namenum'; input name $ number; run; Which one of the following is the value of the NUMBER variable? A. xx B. Joe C. . (missing numeric value) D. The value can not be determined as the program fails to execute due to errors. Answer is C, missing value, since a numeric value is expected for the variable been read, and a character value was found. 4. Which one of the following statements is true regarding the SAS automatic _ERROR_ variable? variable? A. The _ERROR_ variable contains the values 'ON' or 'OFF'. B. The _ERROR_ variable contains contains the values 'TRUE' or 'FALSE'. C. The _ERROR_ variable is automatically stored in the resulting SAS data set. D. The _ERROR_ variable can be used in expressions or calculations in the DATA step. Anonymous said... You can write the values of SAS automatic variables to the SAS log to help you analyze your program and data. Your code can test the values of SAS automatic variables to direct conditional execution of DATA step statements. Automatic variables variables are temporary temporary and SAS does not store them in the data sets it creates. To save the value of an automatic variable, assign its value to a data set variable. When to use: Always review the SAS log to look for notes indicating that _ERROR_ was set to 1. Set _ERROR_ to 1 in your code for errors you want flagged in the SAS log. FIRST.variable Indicates whether the data values being processed are from the first observation in a BY group where: variable is the BY-group variable to examine. 11:32 AM

6. Which one of the following is true when SAS encounters a data error in a DATA step? A. The DATA step stops executing at the point of the error, and no SAS data set is created. B. A note is written to the SAS log explaining the error, and the DATA step continues to execute. C. A note appears in the SAS log that the incorrect data record was saved to a separate SAS file for further examination. D. The DATA step stops executing at the point of the error, and the resulting DATA set contains observations up to that point. Anonymous said... Answer is B. Explanation: Notice what happens when SAS encounters invalid data. 1 An error message is printed on the log. NOTE: Invalid data for DOB in line 6 9-15. 2 The raw data line is printed with a ruler. RULE:----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6 6 1 SMITH 1/23/66 68 144 M 26 Aside: Notice how the error message "for DOB in line 6 9-15" points you to the variable being read, the line number and the column range where the input error occurred. 3 The resulting values of all the variables (after the input process) are printed. ID=1 LASTNAME=SMITH DOB=. HEIGHT=68 WEIGHT=144 GENDER=M AGE=26 _ERROR_=1 _N_=1 Aside: The special variables _ERROR_ and _N_ are used in the data set to indicate whether a run-time error has occurred with this observation, and to indicate how many times the data step has executed. These two variables are not included in the output dataset. 4 The data step keeps running.
NOTE: The data set WORK.WONTWORK has 4 observations and 7 variables. Also see that the Proc Print output shows that a dataset with values was created. All the variables have been given values for all the observations (a missing value is a value). 11:44 AM 7. The following SAS program is submitted: data work.totalsales (keep = monthsales{12} ); set work.monthlysales (keep = year product sales); array monthsales {12} ; do i=1 to 12; monthsales{i} = sales; end; run; The data set named WORK.MONTHLYSALES has one observation per month for each of five years for a total of 60 observations. Which one of the following is the result of the above program? A. The program fails execution due to data errors. B. The program fails execution due to syntax errors. C. The program executes with warnings and creates the WORK.TOTALSALES data set. D. The program executes without errors or warnings and creates the WORK.TOTALSALES data set. Anonymous said... Answer is B. data monthly (keep = sales); do i = 1 to 60; sales = i*10; output; end; run; data work.totalsales(keep = msales{12} ) ; set work.monthly (keep = sales); array msales {12} ; do i=1 to 12; msales{i} = sales; end; run; log file: 153 data work.totalsales(keep = msales{12} ) ; -

Which one of the following is the result of the above program?
A. The program fails execution due to data errors. B. The program fails execution due to syntax errors. C. The program runs with warnings and creates the WORK.TOTALSALES data set with 60 observations. D. The program runs without errors or warnings and creates the WORK.TOTALSALES data set with 60 observations. Anonymous said... Answer is B because retain statement for arrays should look something like retain monthsales1-monthsales12; Even if we change retain statement to proper one, program will error out. Because array index will be out of bound after reading 13th observation. Below is my code and log file. data monthly (keep = sales); do i = 1 to 60; sales = i*10; output; end; run; data work.totalsales; set work.monthly(keep = sales); retain msales1-msales12 ; array msales {12} ; do i = 1 to 12; msales{i} = sales; end; cnt + 1; msales{cnt} = sales; run; ERROR: Array subscript out of range at line 227 column 1.
