Defining a New Column |
You can create new columns from existing data. For example, you may want to know the cost per square foot for each house in the HOUSES table. This information does not exist in the HOUSES table. However, by using SAS/ASSIST software, you can create a new column that contains this data in a new table. New columns cannot be added to existing tables.
This chapter shows you how to determine the cost per square foot for each house in the HOUSES table, and how to store that information in a new column in a new table.
