In this project, dBase files are used both in place of SAS datasets and to create SAS datasets. The details of how this is done is in the notes about dBase and DIF Files.
This project should be done only if you are using SAS 6.08 release TS 407, or later, for the Microsoft Windows environment.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. The dBase file iris.dbf contains some of the Fisher Iris data analyzed previously. Make a working copy of this dBase file. Use the technique of reading dBase files directly (without converting the dBase file to a SAS data set) to create a SAS data set containing two variables. The two variables in the SAS data set are to be the sum of sepal length and sepal width and the sum of petal length and petal width. Print out a nice copy of this SAS data set.
2. Read iris.dbf into a SAS dataset called newiris. Use proc contents to print out a nice listing of the contents of the SAS data set.
3. Take any SAS data set you have created and turn it into a dBase file. Then make a nice 1 page printout of (part) of the contents of that dBase file by using dBase (or a similar program).
