To create a SAS data set from raw data, you often need more than the most basic features. In this section, you will learn advanced features for reading raw data that include the following:
-
how to understand and then control what happens when a value is unexpectedly missing in an input record
-
how to read a record more than once so that you may test a condition before taking action on the current record
-
how to create multiple observations from a single input record
| Prerequisites |
You should understand the concepts presented in What Is the SAS System? and Introduction to DATA Step Processing before continuing.
