对于只想拿SAS认证的人，如果熟练掌握网上流传甚广的sas真题70题，通过base认证基本就没问题。 Q 1
1. The following SAS program is submitted: data WORK.TOTAL; set WORK.SALARY; by Department Gender;
if First.<_insert_code_> then Payroll=0; Payroll+Wagerate; if Last.<_insert_code_>; run;
The SAS data set WORK.SALARY is currently ordered by Gender within Department. Which inserted code will accumulate subtotals for each Gender within Department? A. Gender B. Department C. Gender Department D. Department Gender 答案：A
本题知识点：自动变量
在SAS读取数据时，在PDV过程中会产生很多自动变量，在输出的数据集中是不可见的。 · FIRST.VARIABLE：同一个BY变量（组），若新的变量值第一次出现时，其first.variable值为1。 · LAST.VARIABLE：同一个BY变量（组），若新的变量值最后一次出现时，其last.variable值为1。 另外，在BY变量右面有多个变量时，先按第一个变量排序，若第一个变量的观测存在重复时，才按第二个变量排序。 Q 2

本题知识点：INFILE语句与指示器@、@@ INFILE filespecification options;
其中，filespecification用来定义文件, options给出选择项; · filespecification有以下三种形式:
3
①、fileref(文件标志) ②、’filename’(文件名)
③、CARDS指明输入的数据，紧跟着CARDS语句 · 下列选择项(options)可以出现在INFILE语句中:
①、COLUMN=variable或COL=variable 定义一个变量, 其值是指针所在的当前列位置。 ②、END=variable 定义一个变量, 作为文件结束的标志。
③、EOF=label是一个语句标号, 当INFILE语句读到文件末尾时, 作为隐含的GOTO语句的目标。 ④、LENGHT=variable 定义一个变量, 其值是当前输入数据行的长度。
⑤、FIRSTOBS=linenumber 要求从指定的行开始读取数据, 而不是从文件的第一个记录开始。
⑥、OBS=n 指定从一个顺序输入文件中读取数据的最后一个行(即第1～第n行)。一个观察可能占n行。⑦、DLM= 若分隔符不是空格，则使用DLM=指定
⑧、DSD 忽略引号中数值的分隔符；自动将字符数据中的引号去掉；将两个相邻分隔符视为缺失值处理。 ⑨、MISSOVER 阻止INPUT进入下一行读取，未赋值变量视为缺失值。
⑩、TRUNCOVER 与MISSOVER相似，但在COLUMN INPUT或FORMATTED INPUT中使用。
比较 @ 与 @@ 的区别：
· @ 用于1个数据行用多个input语句读取，停留到下一个INPUT语句。 · @@ 用于1个数据行含有多个观测值读取时，停留到下一个DATA步。 Q 3
The following SAS program is submitted: data WORK.DATE_INFO; Day=\"01\" ; Yr=1960 ; X=mdy(Day,01,Yr) ; run;
What is the value of the variable X? A. the numeric value 0
B. the character value \"01011960\" C. a missing value due to syntax errors
D. the step will not compile because of the character argument in the mdy function.
4
答案：A
本题知识点：数据类型的自动转换
在SAS中，日期时间是以1960年1月1日0时0分0秒作为起点的。因此，mdy(1,1,1960)=0。
若把日期时间表示为常数时，要使用相应的格式，带单或双引号，在后面紧跟一个D（日期）、T（时间）、DT（日期时间）。
在本题中，日期函数的参数应该是数值，若是字符串，会先尝试字符串是否可以转换为数值，这是自动转换。
自动转换是指系统产生一个临时的变量来完成赋值或运算。当自动转换发生时，会在LOG窗口中给出提示。 1）、字符型变量 -> 数值型变量
在下面的情况中，VarB是一个字符型变量，其它是数字型变量。 · 赋值于一个数字型变量，如：VarA=VarB; · 在算术运算中使用，如：VarA=VarB+0;
· 与一个数字型变量进行比较，如：if VarB>=VarA; · 在函数中，参数要求数字型变量，如：VarA=sum(VarB,0); 2）、数值型变量 -> 字符型变量
在下面的情况中，VarB是一个数字型变量，其它是字符型变量。 · 赋值于一个字符型变量，如：VarA=VarB;
· 在与要求字符的运算符一起使用，如：VarA=''||VarB; · 在函数中，参数要求字符型变量，如：VarA=trim(VarB); Q 4
The Excel workbook REGIONS.XLS contains the following four worksheets: EAST WEST NORTH SOUTH
The following program is submitted: libname MYXLS 'regions.xls';

Which PROC PRINT step correctly displays the NORTH worksheet? A. proc print data=MYXLS.NORTH;run; B. proc print data=MYXLS.NORTH$;run; C. proc print data=MYXLS.'NORTH'e;run; D. proc print data=MYXLS.'NORTH$'n;run; 答案：D
本题知识点：打印Excel的某个工作表的数据
WHAT IS THAT “$” CHARACTER?
Looking at SAS Explorer it may be surprising that each dataset written to Excel appears twice, once with the expected name and once with a trailing “$”.
Unlike a typical data source, data in an Excel spreadsheet need not be left and top aligned. For this Excel has named ranges which allow data to be placed anywhere inside a spreadsheet. By default SAS reads and writes data from named ranges on spreadsheets, but will also read spreadsheet data directly in the absence of a named range. When a new SAS dataset is created in an Excel library, SAS creates both a spreadsheet and a named range. Each is given the same name, with thespreadsheet denoted by a trailing “$”.
In the example at right CLASS is the named range created by the Excel engine and CLASS$ is the spreadsheet created by the Excel engine to hold the named range. Within SAS, the named range is referred to as Wrkbk.CLASS, and the spreadsheet is referenced using the name literal Wrkbk.’CLASS$’n.
SAS name literals are name tokens written as strings within quotation marks, followed by the letter n. Name literals allow the use of special characters that are not otherwise allowed in SAS names , like the “$” used by the Excel libname engine to distinguish worksheets from named ranges. For more information see the Recommended Readings.

Q 6
After a SAS program is submitted, the following is written to the SAS log: 101 data WORK.JANUARY;
102 set WORK.ALLYEAR(keep=product month num_Sold Cost); 103 if Month='Jan' then output WORK.JANUARY; 104 Sales=Cost * Num_Sold; 105 keep=Product Sales; ----- 22
ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: !, !!, &, *, **, +, -, , <=, <>, =, >, >=,
AND, EQ, GE, GT, IN, LE, LT, MAX, MIN, NE, NG, NL, NOTIN, OR, ^=, |, ||, ~=. 106 run;
What changes should be made to the KEEP statement to correct the errors in the LOG? A. keep=(Product Sales); B. keep Product, Sales; C. keep=Product, Sales; D. keep Product Sales; 答案：D
本题知识点：KEEP语句与KEEP=选项
在处理大型数据集时，KEEP=选项的效率较高。 · KEEP语句：KEEP variable(s); 不能用于过程步。
· KEEP=选项：data-set-name( KEEP=variable(s) ) 可以用于数据步（如，DATA语句、SET语句）、过程步。其中，variable(s)是具体变量，不能是数组、_N_、_ERROR_等。 Q 7

Which of the following choices is an unacceptable ODSdestination for producing output that can be viewed in Microsoft Excel? A. MSOFFICE2K B. EXCELXP C. CSVALL D. WINXP 答案：D
本题知识点：ODS输出
Most of these destinations are designed to create output for viewing on a screen or for printing. The OUTPUT destination creates SAS data sets. The MARKUP destination is a general purpose tool for creating output in formats defined by tagsets. This includes XML (eXtensible Markup Language), EXCELXP, LaTeX, CSV (comma-separated values), and many other formats where data can be thought of as separated by tags. The DO CUMENT destination, on the other hand, allows you to create a reusable output “document” that yo u can rerender for any destination. So, if your boss decides he really wants that report in PDF, not RTF, you can replay the output document without having to rerun the entire SAS program that created the data. With an output document, you can also rearrange, duplicate, or delete tables to further customize your output. 摘自《The Little SAS Book》(Fourth) P152页 Q 8

FullName=EmpFName + EmpLName; 答案：A 本题知识点：CAT系列函数 cat(of x1-x4)：即x1||x2||x3||x4 catt(of x1-x4)：即trim(x1)||trim(x2)||trim(x3)||trim(x4) cats(of x1-x4)：即trim(left(x1))||trim(left(x2))||trim(left(x3))||trim(left(x4)) catx(sp,of x1-x4)：即 trim(left(x1))||sp||trim(left(x2))||sp||trim(left(x3))||sp||trim(left(x4)) 为什么没有选C。从理解上，应该正确。但是，实际上是不对的。这正是SAS编程与其他语言的差异之一。 查看变量长度，可以发现，没有LENGTH语句申明长度时，默认每个变量（无论数值型或字符型）读取的长度都是8，不足的以空格填充。 proc contents data=WORK.PHONES varnum; run; 选项C的结果为FullName=’James Stevens‘，中间是空格是3个空格，即 James_ _ _ Stevens_ Q 42 The following SAS program is submitted: data WORK.ONE; Text='Australia, US, Denmark'; Pos=find(Text,'US','i',5); run; What value will SAS assign to Pos? A. 0 B. 1 C. 2 D. 12 答案：D 本题知识点：字符串查找函数：FIND函数 FIND(string,substring<,modifiers><,startpos>) FIND(string,substring<,startpos><,modifiers>) 返回substring在原字符串string中的位置。 modifiers参数：’i'是忽略大小写；’t'是去掉string,substring的空格。 Q 43 Given the SAS data set WORK.ORDERS: WORK.ORDERS order_id customer shipped -------- ------------ --------- 9341 Josh Martin 02FEB2009 9874 Rachel Lords 14MAR2009 10233 Takashi Sato 07JUL2009 27 The variable order_id is numeric; customer is character; and shipped is numeric, contains a SAS date value, and is shown with the DATE9. format. A programmer would like to create a new variable, ship_note, that shows a character value with the order_id, shipped date, and customer name. For example, given the first observation ship_note would have the value \"Order 9341 shipped on 02FEB2009 to Josh Martin\". Which of the following statement will correctly create the value and assign it to ship_note? A. ship_note=catx(' ','Order',order_id,'shipped on',input(shipped,date9.),'to',customer); B. ship_note=catx(' ','Order',order_id,'shipped on',char(shipped,date9.),'to',customer); C. ship_note=catx(' ','Order',order_id,'shipped on',transwrd(shipped,date9.),'to',customer); D. ship_note=catx(' ','Order',order_id,'shipped on',put(shipped,date9.),'to',customer); 答案：D 本题知识点：CAT系列函数、变量数据类型的显式转换 CAT系列函数，参考第41题。 如果字符型变量转换后不能作为标准数值读入，被转换成的字符型变量有格式要求，必须进行显式转换。 1）、字符型变量 -> 数值型变量 INPUT(source,informat) 其中，source是被转换的字符型变量，informat是读取数字型变量的输入格式。 2）、数值型变量 -> 字符型变量 PUT(source,format) 其中，source是被转换的数字型变量，format是一个输出格式。 Q 44 The following SAS program is submitted: data ONE TWO SASUSER.TWO set SASUSER.ONE; run; Assuming that SASUSER.ONE exists, how many temporary and permanent SAS data sets are created?

A. A file named test.cvs that can only be opened in Excel. B. A text file named test.cvs that can be opened in Excel or in any text editor. C. A text file named test.cvs that can only be opened in a text editor. D. A file named test.cvs that can only be opened by SAS. 答案：C 28 本题知识点：CSV的打开问题 CSV是一种用来存储数据的纯文本文件，通常都是用于存放电子表格或数据的一种文件格式。 CSV 文件格式只能保存活动工作表中的单元格所显示的文本和数值。数据列以逗号分隔，每一行数据都以回车符结束。 如果单元格中包含逗号，则该单元格中的内容以双引号引起。 如果单元格显示的是公式而不是数值，该公式将转换为文本方式。 所有格式、图形、对象和工作表的其他内容将全部丢失。 欧元符号将转换为问号。 用记事本和excel、Editplus等文本编辑器都能打开。记事本打开显示逗号；excel打开，没有逗号。 本题也是很多人讨论答案，其实是没有仔细读题。 注意题目中说得是后缀为*.CVS的文件，这个是SAS自定义的文本文件格式，答案也选B。 如果是后缀为*.CSV的文件，答案就是B。 Q 46 Given the SAS data set WORK.ONE: Obs Revenue2008 Revenue2009 Revenue2010 --- ----------- ----------- ----------- 1 1.2 1.6 2.0 The following SAS program is submitted: data WORK.TWO; set WORK.ONE; Total=mean(of Rev:); run; What value will SAS assign to Total?
