Question

What result would you expect from submitting this step?

proc print data=work.newsalesemps
run;

a. a report of the work.newsalesemps data set
b. an error message in the log
c. the creation of a table named work.newsalesemps

Answer 1

Submitting the SAS PROC PRINT code will produce a report of the work.newsalesemps data set. If the dataset exists and no errors are present in the code, the report will be shown in the output window. No new table is created from this step, the correct option is A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The code snippet you have provided is a SAS (Statistical Analysis System) statement used to print the contents of a SAS data set.

Submitting this step will result in a report of the work.newsalesemps data set. Specifically, the PROC PRINT procedure is used to generate a report that lists all variables (columns) and observations (rows) from the specified data set. In this case, that dataset is work.

newsalesemps. As long as the dataset exists and there are no syntactical errors in your code, you will see your expected result in the output window of SAS. If there are issues with the code or dataset, you may receive an error message in the log detailing what went wrong. However, this code will not create a table; it is used for reporting purposes only.
