Introduction to SAS: Running a SAS Program

Running a SAS Program

Type the following lines in the program editor window.

data first;
input name $ age;
cards;
john 12
jane 11
jack 13
amy  10
run;

proc print data=first;
run;

Lines typed in the program editor window are not processed by SAS until the program is submitted for processing by selecting the LOCAL--SUBMIT option from the menu in the program editor window. Select LOCAL--SUBMIT from the menu in the program editor window now.

The data should appear in the output window. If not, return to the program editor window and select LOCAL--RECALL from the menu. Check that the program was typed exactly as above. Make any necessary corrections and re-submit the program. You may also check the log window for error messages.
