SAS Programming 1: Essentials Case Study

Ashwini15 — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 11:12:00 GMT

I am currently doing the essentials case study 1 and this was the code I put in:

proc import datafile="/home/u48548322/Case Study- TSA Airport/TSAClaims2002_2017.csv"
dbms=csv
out=tsa.claimsimport
replace;
guessingrows=max;
run;

The log however states this with no errors, but states that the table is unable to open:

1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

73 proc import datafile="/home/u48548322/Case Study- TSA Airport/TSAClaims2002_2017.csv"

74 dbms=csv

75 out=tsa.claimsimport

76 replace;

77 guessingrows=max;

78 run;

NOTE: Unable to open parameter catalog: SASUSER.PARMS.PARMS.SLIST in update mode. Temporary parameter values will be saved to

WORK.PARMS.PARMS.SLIST.

How can I resolve this.

This NOTE informs you that your SASUSER library was opened in read-only mode (default for most current SAS installations, especially those used for learning). It mentions a parameter catalog, not the dataset you created. This would be mentioned as TSA.CLAIMSIMPORT.DATA.

You can safely ignore the message.

If you still think you have problems, post the whole log (from the start of your proc import down to any message), using this button:

Thank you for this, however when I want to print the data using proc print statement. I get stuck in an infinite loop when i run the programme. Please explain this to me??

If you have lots of observations in your dataset, a proc print output might be too large for your SAS interface (Studio or Enterprise Guide). Just run your import and show us the log from that.

I have clicked run and now I am stuck in an infinite loop

Restart your SAS session, and run the steps in order (mark the code and then click submit).

Re: SAS Programming 1: Essentials Case Study

Kurt_Bremser — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 11:43:36 GMT

This is your essential clue:

 NOTE: TSA.CLAIMS_CLEANED data set was successfully created.
 NOTE: The data set TSA.CLAIMS_CLEANED has 220855 observations and 14 variables.
 NOTE: PROCEDURE IMPORT used (Total process time):

So the dataset was successfully created.

But if you want to print 200000 lines with possibly considerably large content (those 14 columns might be quite wide), this might overwhelm your front-end (the browser if you use SAS Studio).

• Import the raw data file TSAClaims2002_2017.csv.
• The final data should be in the permanent library tsa, and the data set should be named
claims_cleaned.
• Entirely duplicated records need to be removed from the data set.
• All missing and “-“ values in the columns Claim_Type, Claim_Site, and Disposition must be
changed to Unknown.
• Values in the columns Claim_Type, Claim_Site, and Disposition must follow the requirements in
the data layout.
• All StateName values should be in proper case.
• All State values should be in uppercase.
• You create a new column named Date_Issues with a value of Needs Review to indicate that a
row has a date issue. Date issues consist of the following:
– a missing value for Incident_Date or Date_Received
– an Incident_Date or Date_Received value out of the predefined year range of 2002 through
2017
– an Incident_Date value that occurs after the Date_Received value
• Remove the County and City columns.
• Currency should be permanently formatted with a dollar sign and include two decimal points.
• All dates should be permanently formatted in the style 01JAN2000.
• Permanent labels should be assigned columns by replacing the underscores with a space.
• Final data should be sorted in ascending order by Incident_Date.

I have done the first two bullet points, however when I try to do the subsequent steps it doesnt show anything or I am stuck in an infinite loop.
