Please post any errors you find in the official Base Programming Reference Sheet.

Page 1 and last page, no semicolon after Libname CLEAR?

On page 2. Missing semicolon at the end of the first ELSE IF statement?

On the last page, ODS PDF but output file extension is .xlsx?

Thank you Nietsche for all the errata. What about summing all that up in an article once you are through ... and publishing it in the knowledge base?

For now I think it is better leave in thread form since the errors I have found can not be exhaustive.

Maybe future readers will find more errors in the future and can post it on here to make the errata more comprehensive.

I wonder what is supposed to be indicated by the FIRST.bycol and LAST.bycol lines in the box below, from the right hand column of page 2. They start with the FIRST. or LAST. components, followed by an optional "<expression>" and then a semi-colon. This syntax suggests that one can create a valid SAS statement of that form.

Really?
