PCSAS
1) Get on SASPC & retrieve Tall.sas (see LAB 1)
2) make the following exact additions from the specific form template
to produce a COMMAND FILE to get frequencies for female/male heights:
Specific Form:
General Form:
DATA D1; DATA data-set-name;
TITLE Jmlab2; TITLE your-name-run;
INPUT #1 INPUT #line number
@1 (Gender) (1.) @ column # (variable name) (column width)
@3 (Tall) (2.); @ column # (variable name) (column width);
CARDS; CARDS;
{ DATA FROM LAST TIME} {keyed data are entered here}
1 64
1 67
{all data this way}
; ;
PROC FREQ DATA=D1; PROC FREQ DATA=data–set-name;
TABLES Gender Tall; TABLES variable list;
RUN; RUN;
3) Click run icon (guy running) on toolbar to start processing of the command file:
If you see Frequencies go to B below but if you see a blank screen read A.
A) FIXING ERRORS: If you have an error no output will appear on your screen. To find out what you did wrong go to your LOG file and it will tell you. Click LOG (look toward bottom of screen), you will see a record of what has occurred (Note 1). You must now correct your command file.
Click Program Editor (also toward bottom of screen), after making the
needed changes, clink the run icon again. Repeat this cycle until
frequencies appear.
B) CONGRATS! Hit the printer on toolbox and pick up your print out.
4) Save your command file and your output file to your disk (see III lab 1). See if you can figure out. Call me over to make sure you can fix an error before you leave.
Note 1: To keep your log file neat , I suggest the clicking of EDIT and the clicking of Clear Text to get rid of old log files.
