Practical Data Management
and Statistical Computing (BioEp691F)
1.
Data from page 19, Figure 2.4, from the SAS Language and
Procedures Usage Manual, Version 6, 1st edition are given in file
as10a.txt.
- Copy these data to a floppy disk on the a: directory.
- Write a SAS program to:
- copy the ASCII data set from the floppy disk to the c:\temp
directory
- read the data from the c:\temp directory into SAS,
identifying the data with a FILENAME statement in your
program.
- save the data set as a SAS 6.04 data set.
- Generate a list of the data and the contents of the
permanent SAS data set.
- Create a WEB page that contains a link to the output and the
SAS program.
- Print a copy of the WEB page, the output, and the program to
hand in.
2. Write a SAS program
to read the data in the ASCII
file as10b.txt (created by as10p1.sas).
This data contains 30 variables. Read these data into SAS, and save
the data set as a permanent SAS version 6.12 data file. Get the mean
of each variable in your data set, and create a WEB page or a
wordprocessing document that contains the results, and a copy of your
SAS program.
