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:

output and the output data set. The ATTRIB statement does not permanently

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

executes any statements
that have not executed and ends the procedure. See

specifies weights for
analysis variables in the statistical calculations. See
WEIGHT.
subsets the input data
set by specifying certain conditions that each observation must meet
before it is available for processing. See
