SUMABS(value-1 <,value-2
...>)
|
- value
-
specifies a numeric expression.
If all arguments have missing values, then the result
is a missing value. Otherwise, the result is the sum of the absolute values
of the non-missing values.
The following example returns the sum of the absolute values of the non-missing
arguments.
data _null_;
x=sumabs(1,.,-2,0,3,.q,-4);
put x=;
run;
SAS writes the following output to the log:
x=10
The following example uses a variable list and
returns the sum of the absolute value of the non-missing arguments.
data _null_;
x1 = 1;
x2 = 3;
x3 = 4;
x4 = 3;
x5 = 1;
x = sumabs(of x1-x5);
put x=;
run;
SAS writes the following output to the log:
x=12
