In the provided code snippet, Line 3 contains a syntax error. The keep statement is used incorrectly here; the correct keyword to use is where in order to filter the dataset. The correct line should be something like:

where Make = 'Honda';

So, the keep statement on Line 3 is not properly used, and also there appears to be a missing quotation mark at the end of 'Honda' which should be closed before the semicolon.

The correct answer is C. To create the NODONATIONS dataset, which includes only the employees who did not make any donations, a merge operation is used with a conditional statement to filter out those records. The syntax if inE=1 and inD=0; ensures that the merged dataset includes only the observations from the EMPLOYEES dataset that do not have a corresponding observation in the DONATIONS dataset. This is achieved using data step processing with the in= option to create temporary variables that indicate whether the data is coming from the input dataset.

In the other options:

A is incorrect because inE=0 and inD=0 will never be true after a merge since at least one of the datasets must contribute to the merged observation.

B lacks the necessary conditional logic to filter out employees with donations.

D is incorrect because if inE=1 and inD=1; would actually select employees who made donations, the opposite of what we want.

SAS documentation on merging data sets using the DATA step.

In the given DATA step, the do weeks=1 to 3; loop iterates three times for each row in the original WORK.RUN dataset, incrementing the miles value by 5 for each iteration and outputting a row after each increment. However, no output; statement is given within the loop to create the extra rows, which means only the last iteration of the loop will be outputted for each original row. Hence, the miles value for each name will be incremented by 15 (5 miles for each of the 3 weeks).

The original data set WORK.RUN has:

John 16

Mary 20

After the DATA step, it should be:

John 31

Mary 35

Each name appears only once because without an explicit output; statement inside the loop, only the final iteration is outputted. The variable weeks is not retained in the output dataset, as it is not used outside the loop and no output statement is used inside the loop. Thus, option D is correct.

The PROC SORT step in SAS is used to sort data sets by one or more variables. The syntax for the proc sort step requires the by statement to specify the variable(s) by which to sort the data. The correct answer is option A:

proc sort data=Names;

by Name;

run;

This sorts the data set by the variable 'Name' in alphabetical order, which matches the sorted NAMES data set shown in the question. Option B uses orderby, which is not a valid SAS statement. Option C sorts by 'Age', which would not give the same result as shown in the question. Option D also incorrectly uses orderby.

The correct answer is A: Ods excel='c:\report.xlsx' style=analysis;. This syntax is correct for the ODS EXCEL statement in SAS, where you specify the path and filename, followed by the 'style' option to apply a specific style template to the output Excel file. The 'style=analysis' is used to set the output appearance according to the 'ANALYSIS' style template provided by SAS. Option B is syntactically incorrect and does not use the 'style' option correctly. Option C incorrectly places a slash which is not syntactically valid in this context, and Option D misses the equals sign and quotes which are necessary for correct syntax in SAS. Reference:
