SAS A00-233 Sample Questions:
01. This project will work with the following program:
data work.lowchol work.highchol;
set sashelp.heart;
if cholesterol lt 200 output work.lowchol;
if cholesterol ge 200 output work.highchol;
if cholesterol is missing output work.misschol;
run;
This program is intended to:
- Divide the observations of sashelp.heart into three data sets, work.highchol, work.lowchol, and work.misschol
- Only observations with cholesterol below 200 should be in the work.lowchol data set.
- Only Observations with cholesterol that is 200 and above should be in the work.highchol data set.
- Observations with missing cholesterol values should only be in the work.misschol data set.
Fix the errors in the above program. There may be multiple errors in the program. Errors may be syntax errors, program structure errors, or logic errors.
In the case of logic errors, the program may not produce an error in the log. After fixing all of the errors in the program, answer the following questions:

07. This project will use the data set sashelp.shoes.
Write a SAS program that will:
> Read sashelp.shoes as input.
> Create a new SAS data set, work.shoerange.
> Create a new character variable SalesRange that will be used to categorize the observations into three groups.
> Set the value of SalesRange to the following:
- Lower when Sales are less than $100,000.
- Middle when Sales are between $100,000 and $200,000, inclusively.
- Upper when Sales are above $200,000.
Run the program, then use additional SAS procedures to answer the following questions:
What is the mean value of observations in the “Middle” group?
Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

10. This project will work with the following program:
data work.lowchol work.highchol;
set sashelp.heart;
if cholesterol lt 200 output work.lowchol;
if cholesterol ge 200 output work.highchol;
if cholesterol is missing output work.misschol;
run;
This program is intended to:
- Divide the observations of sashelp.heart into three data sets, work.highchol, work.lowchol, and work.misschol
- Only observations with cholesterol below 200 should be in the work.lowchol data set.
- Only Observations with cholesterol that is 200 and above should be in the work.highchol data set.
- Observations with missing cholesterol values should only be in the work.misschol data set.
