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

The code creates two datasets, preteen and teen, based on the age variable from the sashelp.class dataset. The if statement checks each observation, and if the age is less than 13, the observation is written to the preteen dataset; otherwise, the observation is written to the teen dataset.

From the provided frequency table, we can see that there are 7 observations with ages less than 13 (2 for age 11 and 5 for age 12), so the preteen dataset will have 7 observations. Since the sashelp.class dataset has a total of 19 observations, the remaining 12 observations (19 total - 7 preteen = 12 teen) will be written to the teen dataset.

Thus, the answer is: B. preteen will have 7 observations and teen will have 12 observations.

The FORMAT statement in the DATA step assigns formats to variables for the SAS dataset being created. In the code provided, MSRP is given the dollar12. format and Invoice is given the dollar10. format. However, during the PROC PRINT step, MSRP is reassigned to the comma12.2 format. The format specified in the most recent PROC step or DATA step that executes is the one that is used in the output.

Therefore, the format for MSRP in the PROC PRINT output will be comma12.2, making the answer: B. Comma12.2

The correct statement to import a CSV file into SAS and create a dataset is option B. The PROC IMPORT statement is used in SAS to read data from external files and create a SAS data set. Let's break down why option B is correct:

• datafile= specifies the location and filename of the external data file. In this case, "sales.csv" is the correct filename and format for a CSV file.
• dbms=csv tells SAS that the format of the external data file is CSV (comma-separated values).
• out=mydata.sales; specifies the name of the output SAS dataset. It consists of two parts: the libref mydata and the dataset name sales. This tells SAS to store the new dataset in a library called mydata with the dataset name sales.

Option A uses an incorrect syntax as it incorrectly specifies the data= option, which is not valid in this context. Also, the out= option is incorrectly quoted and terminated with a semicolon within the quotes.

Option C has a typo in the out= option (out=mydata.gales;), which incorrectly specifies the output dataset name. Additionally, it incorrectly specifies the data= option, which should actually be datafile=.

Option D has incorrectly quoted the out= option and uses a hyphen instead of an equals sign. Additionally, it does not use quotes around the filename, which may cause issues if the filename contains special characters or spaces.
