How to Run a Task

In the navigation pane, click the Tasks and Utilities section.

Expand the folder that contains the task.

Right-click the task name and select Open. Alternatively, you can double-click the task to open it.

If the Data tab is available, specify an input data source and select columns for the roles in the data source. A role is a description of a variable’s purpose in the task. To add a column to a role, click . A list of available columns for that role appears. If only one column can be assigned to the role, you select a column and the list disappears. If multiple columns can be assigned, you can press Ctrl or Shift to select multiple columns from the list and click OK.

On the remaining tabs, specify any other required options, which are denoted with a red asterisk. As you assign values to the task, the relevant SAS code is generated. For more information about the options available for each task, see SAS Studio: Task Reference Guide.
