SAS Data Set Options

Syntax

Specify a data set option in parentheses after a SAS data set name. To specify several data set options, separate them with spaces.

(option-1=value-1<...option-n=value-n>)

These examples show data set options in SAS statements:

data scores(keep=team game1 game2 game3);

data mydata(index=(b k) label='label for my data set' drop=p read=secret);

data new(drop=i n index=(j combo=(x1 a1 a20 b1 b50 )));

data idxdup2(compress=yes index=(ok1 ok2 ssn/unique ok3));
