Specifies one or more variables
whose values identify observations
in the FSVIEW window.
| Restriction: |
If you use the ID statement in conjunction
with a PROC FSVIEW statement that includes the NEW= option, the FSVIEW procedure
terminates with an error message.
|
| Note: |
If you load an existing FORMULA entry, the ID variables
that are recorded in the FORMULA entry take precedence over the ID variables
that are specified in the ID statement.
|
|
ID variable <... variable-n>;
|
| variable |
is the name of a variable from the displayed data
set. |
By default, the FSVIEW procedure uses observation numbers to identify
observations. Observation numbers are not displayed when ID variables are
used. The values of the ID variables appear at the beginning of each row and
remain on the left side of the window when the other variable columns are
scrolled horizontally.
The FSVIEW procedure does not show more than the first 53 characters
of ID variables. If the ID variable column exceeds this width, it is truncated.
If you want to know an observation's number when it is identified by
an ID variable, use the OBS command. See FSVIEW Window Commands for details.
Use the COLOR command to select the color for ID variables
and for the
ID variable column heading. See FSVIEW Window Commands for details.
