  4. What SAS procedures are included within SAS Learning Edition?

    A group of SAS procedure statements is called a PROC step.

  6. What are the limitations of SAS Learning Edition?

    SAS Learning Edition works with data sets of any size, but it processes and displays only the first 1000 observations (rows) in your data set. SAS Learning Edition does, however, handle an unlimited number of variables (columns). Also, the SAS procedures included with SAS Learning Edition are those that are surfaced by SAS Enterprise Guide.
