The SIMNORMAL procedure produces a single output data set: the OUT=SAS-data-set.

The OUT= data set contains the following variables:

• all variables listed in the VAR statement

• all variables listed in the BY statement, if one is given

• Rnum, which is the realization number within the current BY group

• Seed, which is current seed value, if the OUTSEED option is specified

• all variables listed in the CONDITION statement, if a CONDITION statement is given and the OUTCOND option is specified

The number of observations is determined by the value of the NUMREAL= option. If there are no BY groups, the number of observations in the OUT= data set is equal to the value of the NUMREAL= option. If there are BY groups, there are number of observations equals the value of the NUMREAL= option for each BY group.
