A00-215 Exam Dumps : SAS Certified Associate: Programming Fundamentals Using SAS 9.4

In the provided image of the SAS code for the PROC PRINT step, the following statements are present:

• proc print data=sashelp.cars; - PROC PRINT step beginning
• var Make Model MSRP MPG_City MPG_Highway Horsepower Weight; - VAR statement to specify variables to print
• format Weight comma8.; - FORMAT statement to apply a format to a variable
• The final run; statement which would be necessary to execute the PROC PRINT step is not visible in the image, but it can be inferred to be there since every PROC step must be ended with a run; or quit; statement.

Thus, there are four statements related to the PROC PRINT step.

References:

• SAS 9.4 Language Reference: Concepts, "PROC PRINT"
• SAS documentation on "VAR Statement" and "FORMAT Statement"

The reason the labels for MSRP, MPG_City, and MPG_Highway are not displaying in the PROC PRINT report is that the LABEL option was not used in the PROC PRINT statement. In SAS, even if you have label statements in your DATA step, you must also specify the LABEL option in the PROC PRINT statement for those labels to be used in the report output. Thus, the correct answer is Option A: You must use the LABEL option on the PROC PRINT statement.

In the provided DATA step, the merge statement is used to combine the PATIENT and VISIT data sets by the variable Id. The number of observations in the resulting ALLVISITS data set will equal the number of unique Id values that appear in both the PATIENT and VISIT data sets, because the merge in SAS is a one-to-one merge by default when the by statement is used without additional options like in=.

Looking at the provided data sets, each Id in the PATIENT data set has corresponding entries in the VISIT data set. Since there are 5 unique Id values and the VISIT data set contains multiple observations for some Id values (specifically, Id 2 and 5 have more than one visit), the ALLVISITS data set will have a total of 7 observations (1 for each patient plus the additional visits for Id 2 and 5).
