    run;
    Click Submit SAS Code to create the Work.Trans data set.
  3. In the Tasks section, expand the Statistical Process Control folder, and then double-click Capability Analysis. The user interface for the Capability Analysis task opens.
  4. On the Data tab, select the WORK.TRANS data set.
  5. Assign thick to the Process variable role.
  6. For the lower specification limit, enter 3.45.
  7. For the upper specification limit, enter 3.55.
  8. To run the task, click Submit SAS Code.
