Copies variables
directly from the input data set to the output
data set without transposing them.
- variable(s)
-
names one or more variables that the COPY statement copies
directly from the input data set to the output data set without transposing
them.
Because the COPY statement copies variables directly to the output data
set, the number of observations in the output data set is equal to the number
of observations in the input data set.
The procedure pads the output data set with missing values if the number
of observations in the input data set is not equal to the number of variables
that it transposes.
