• Use the DESCRIBE TABLE statement.

2. Macro Processing

Create user-defined and automatic macro variables within the SAS Macro Language.

• Use INTO clause of the SELECT statement in SQL.
• Use %INPUT statement.
• Define Macro variables.
• Use the SYMGET function to return the value of a macro variable to the DATA step during DATA step execution.
• Use %GLOBAL statement.
• Use %LOCAL statement.
• Use the SYMPUT and SYMPUTX routine in the DATA Step.

Automate programs by defining and calling macros using the SAS Macro Language.

• Use the %MACRO statement.
• Insert comments into macros.
• Pass information into a macro using parameters.
• Generate SAS Code conditionally by using the %IF-%THEN-%ELSE macro statements or iterative %DO statements.
• Define a macro.

Understand the use of macro functions.

• Use the %MACRO statement.
• Insert comments into macros.
• Pass information into a macro using parameters.
• Generate SAS Code conditionally by using the %IF-%THEN-%ELSE macro statements or iterative %DO statements.
• Define a macro.

Use various system options that are available for macro debugging and displaying values of user-defined and automatic macro variables in the SAS log.

• Trace the flow of execution with MLOGIC.
• Examine the generated SAS statements with MPRINT.
• Examine macro variable resolution with SYMBOLGEN.
• Use system options to track problems.
• Use the %PUT statement to track problems.

Create data-driven programs using SAS Macro Language.

• Generate repetitive macro calls using the %DO loop, macro variable, and the EXECUTE routine.
• Create macro variables with a list of values.
• Use indirect reference to macro variables.

3. Advanced Programming Techniques

Demonstrate the use of advanced data look-up techniques such as array processing, hash objects, formats, and merging.

• Combine multiple data sets using FILEVAR= option.
• Use formats to create data via lookups.
• Use hash objects as lookup tables.
• Manage custom formats with FMTSEARCH= system option.
• Compare DATA step match-merge and PROC SQL joins.
• Combine data using multiple set statements with KEY= option.
• Process data with multi-dimensional arrays.
• Create custom formats with the PICTURE statement.
• Combine data conditionally using multiple set statements.

Reduce computing resource requirements by controlling the space required to store SAS data sets.

• Use compression techniques, RLE (Run-Length Encoding) and RDC (Ross Data Compression).
• Eliminate variables and observations.
• Reduce length of numeric variables.
• Use SAS views.

Use the FCMP procedure to create a user-defined function.

• Define a SAS function

Perform effective benchmarking.

• Use SAS System options to track resources.
• Understand resources related to efficiency.
• Interpret the resulting resource utilization statistics for the Z/OS environment and for directory based OS.

Use SAS indexes.

• Identify appropriate applications for using indexes.
• Create and delete indexes using the DATA step, the DATASETS procedure, or the SQL procedure.

Compare techniques to eliminate duplicate data.

• Use the DATA step.
• Use the SQL procedure.
• Use the SORT procedure.
