Create a New Data Set

This window offers five ways of creating a SAS data set. If your data are currently on paper, consider the first three methods. If your data are currently stored on your computer system but not in a SAS data set, consider the last two methods.

For data stored on paper:

• Enter data in a two-way table.
• Enter data several observations at a time.
• Enter data one observation at a time.

For data stored on your computer system:

• Read data from a file.
• Run a SAS program that creates a data set.
