In SAS® an array is simply a way to refer to a group of variables in one observation This tutorial explores the many uses of an array by using examples ...
Frequently such an array is referred to as having 12 elements. Page 6. 2. Using Arrays in SAS® Programming. Variables that
The array name may not be the same name as any variable on the SAS data set. SUGI 30. Tutorials. Page 3. 3. The elements for
Multi-dimensional arrays have lower and upper bounds for each dimension. • Array reference. Specifying an array element or elements in a SAS statement is known
Arrays are SAS data step statements that allow clever programmers to do a great deal of work with little code. Arrays process identified variables as a group
This tutorial will introduce you to the basics of SAS Arrays and provide examples of different ways and times to use these data step statements.
2016?5?5? Arrays are a useful tool for the SAS programmer and health-care analyst. Like any other programming tool one programmer may use arrays ...
This tutorial will focus on introducing you to Arrays understanding what they are and variables
Data step programming is the core to SAS code. Within a data step it is possible to accomplish many different tasks. This paper will add one new technique that
The SAS. Macro facility can be used to execute and extract information from repetitively called SAS procedures. “Macro Variable Arrays” can simplify the
SAS ARRAY is a set of variables of the same type called “elements” of the arry that you want to perform the same operation on An array name is assigned to the set of variables Then the array name is reference in other DATA step programming to do an operation on the entire set of variables in the array
A SAS array is a convenient way of temporarily identifying a group of variables for processing within a data step Once the array has been defined the programmer is now able to perform the same tasks for a series of related variables the array elements
To use arrays in SAS code first make sure that you understand the basic syntax of the SAS ARRAY statement This section describes the ARRAY statement and provides a number of examples to illustrate its use Subsequent sections progress to more complex statements and examples
There are two types of arrays that can be specified in SAS The first is what I call an indexed array and the second is a non-indexed array All arrays are set up and utilized within a DATA step The syntax for an indexed array is as follows: ARRAY arrayname {n} [$] [length] list_of_array_elements; where ARRAY arrayname {n} [$] [length]
In SAS® an array is simply a way to refer to a group of variables in one observation with a single name Think of an array as being an alias for the names of SAS variables on which you need to perform the same task The variables can be existing variables new variables or temporary data elements as long as they are the same type
SAS array is a collection of SAS variables that can be referenced in the Data Step under a common single name The general syntax for defining an array is as follows: ARRAY array-name{dimension} $ length elements (initial values); ARRAY – is the Identifying Keyword for the statement Array-name – is the name we create for the array
