Statements with the Same Function in Multiple Procedures

Overview

Several Base SAS statements have the same function in a number of Base SAS procedures. Some of the statements are fully documented in the SAS Statements: Reference, and others are documented in this section. The following list shows you where to find more information about each statement:
ATTRIB
affects the procedure output and the output data set. The ATTRIB statement does not permanently alter the variables in the input data set. The LENGTH= option has no effect. For the complete documentation, see the SAS Statements: Reference.
BY
orders the output according to the BY groups. See BY.
FORMAT
affects the procedure output and the output data set. The FORMAT statement does not permanently alter the variables in the input data set. The DEFAULT= option is not valid. For the complete documentation, see the SAS Statements: Reference.
FREQ
treats observations as if they appear multiple times in the input data set. See FREQ.
LABEL
affects the procedure output and the output data set. The LABEL statement does not permanently alter the variables in the input data set except when it is used with the MODIFY statement in PROC DATASETS. For complete documentation, see the SAS Statements: Reference.
QUIT
executes any statements that have not executed and ends the procedure. See QUIT.
WEIGHT
specifies weights for analysis variables in the statistical calculations. See WEIGHT.
WHERE
subsets the input data set by specifying certain conditions that each observation must meet before it is available for processing. See WHERE.
