 It is important to keep in mind that the actions of global statements remain in effect until

they are changed by another global statement or until you end your SAS session.
 all SAS statements end with semicolons
 SAS is not case sensitive
 All SAS variable names and data set names can be no longer than 32 characters and
must begin with a letter or the underscore ( _ ) character.
 DATA steps read and modify data while PROC steps analyze data, perform utility
functions, or print reports.DATA step to create a SAS data set and then passes the data
to a PROC step for processing
 A step ends when SAS encounters a new step (marked by a DATA or PROC statement),
a RUN statement, or, if you are running in batch mode, the end of the program

 DATA steps execute line by line and observation by observation.


 One observation goes through all sas data step statements

 use the LRECL= option in the INFILE statement to specify a record length at least as long as
the longest record in your data file.
INFILE ’c:\MyRawData\President.dat’ LRECL=2000;
