BY Statement
-
BY variables;
You can specify a BY statement with PROC HPGENSELECT to obtain separate analyses of observations in groups that are defined by the BY variables. When a BY statement appears, the procedure expects the input data set to be sorted in order of the BY variables. If you specify more than one BY statement, only the last one specified is used.
If your input data set is not sorted in ascending order, use one of the following alternatives:
-
Sort the data by using the SORT procedure with a similar BY statement.
-
Specify the NOTSORTED or DESCENDING option in the BY statement for the HPGENSELECT procedure. The NOTSORTED option does not mean that the data are unsorted but rather that the data are arranged in groups (according to values of the BY variables) and that these groups are not necessarily in alphabetical or increasing numeric order.
-
Create an index on the BY variables by using the DATASETS procedure (in Base SAS software).
BY statement processing is not supported when the HPGENSELECT procedure runs alongside the database or alongside the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). These modes are used if the input data are stored in a database or HDFS and the grid host is the appliance that houses the data.
For more information about BY-group processing, see the discussion in SAS Language Reference: Concepts. For more information about the DATASETS procedure, see the discussion in the Base SAS Procedures Guide.
