A00-215 Exam Dumps : SAS Certified Associate: Programming Fundamentals Using SAS 9.4

In the provided image of the SAS code for the PROC PRINT step, the following statements are present:

• proc print data=sashelp.cars; - PROC PRINT step beginning
• var Make Model MSRP MPG_City MPG_Highway Horsepower Weight; - VAR statement to specify variables to print
• format Weight comma8.; - FORMAT statement to apply a format to a variable
• The final run; statement which would be necessary to execute the PROC PRINT step is not visible in the image, but it can be inferred to be there since every PROC step must be ended with a run; or quit; statement.

Thus, there are four statements related to the PROC PRINT step.

The report shown is a cross-tabulation of 'Region' by 'Product'. The FREQ Procedure indicates that PROC FREQ has been used, and the presence of 'Frequency', 'Percent', 'Row Percent', and 'Column Percent' suggests that a cross tabulation (or contingency table) has been requested. The correct code for this output would include the tables statement to specify the two variables ('Region' and 'Product') with an asterisk between them, which indicates a request for a cross-tabulation of these two categorical variables, and the crosslist option to display the table in a cross-tabulated list format. Therefore, option D is the correct answer:

proc freq data=sashelp.shoes;

tables region*product / crosslist;

run;

Options A and C use the order=freq option incorrectly, as this option would order the table by frequency counts rather than providing a cross-tabulation. Option B is missing the crosslist option needed to produce the cross-tabulated format.

To rename a variable when reading a dataset in SAS, you use the rename= option inside the parentheses following the dataset's name in the set statement. The correct syntax for renaming the variable 'Name' to 'StudentName' is: rename=(oldname=newname). Therefore, the correct option is A, which correctly places the old variable name 'Name' first, followed by an equal sign, and then the new variable name 'StudentName'. The parentheses enclose the rename operation, and it is correctly nested within the set statement.
