There is 1 question in the A00-231 Practice Exam, I run the code in SAS studios on 12/18, the answer in SAS Studios is different than the correct answer.

Hi @azsas2020 ,

I tried it in SAS Studio on SAS on demand for academics and it gave the true result:

What result did you get?

This appears to be the input data set. Is it possible that you are looking at the work.one instead of work.two?
