The HPPRINCOMP Procedure

CODE Statement

  • CODE <options>;

The CODE statement enables you to write SAS DATA step code for computing the principal component scores either to a file or to a catalog entry. This code can then be included in a DATA step to score new data.

The CODE statement is not supported when the PARTIAL statement is specified. If you specify more than one CODE statement, only the last one specified is used.

Table 12.3 summarizes the options available in the CODE statement.
