SIMULATION
Scenario:
This project will use data set cert.input13. At any time, you may
save your program as program13 in cert\programs.
This data set contains 1001 observations and 2 variables:
o Date1, a numeric variable representing an unformatted
SAS date value. Example: 12001.
o Charnum, a character variable representing a monetary
amount. Example: $50,000.
Write a SAS program that will:
o Save the new data set as results.output13.
o Create a new variable Chdate that converts
the datel variable to a character variable that is in the
format ddmonyyyy, such as 11NOV1992.
o Create a new variable num1 that converts
the Charnum variable to a numeric variable.
What is the average (mean) of the num1 variable for the entire data set?
Enter your numeric answer in the space below (Round your answer to the nearest
integer).

Correct Answer:
A
data results.output13;
set cert.input13;
Chdate=put(date 1,date9.);
num 1=input(Charnum,dollar7.);
run;
proc means data=results.output13;
var num 1;
run;
