SAS Exam A00-215 Topic 6 Question 43 Discussion

Actual exam question for SAS's A00-215 exam
Question #: 43
Topic #: 6
[All A00-215 Questions]

Given the data sets AMERICIAN NATIONAL and results in the data set BASEBALL shown below:

Which DATA step correctly creates the BASEBALL data set?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is B. The set statement in SAS can concatenate multiple datasets together. The AMERICAN and NATIONAL datasets appear to have the same structure and variables, so the set statement without any options will combine them into one dataset called BASEBALL. The order of the datasets in the set statement determines the order of the observations in the output dataset, and since there is no variable that needs renaming to match between the two datasets, option B is the correct answer.


SAS documentation on the set statement.

I'm going with C too. Renaming the variable is the key step here. The rest of them are just not going to work.

Hah, those other options are like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. C is the way to go, no doubt about it.

The correct answer is C. It's the only one that renames the 'TeamName' variable to 'Team' to match the structure of the BASEBALL data set.

No, I believe it's C because it renames 'TeamName' to 'Team'.
